This slow growing, broad upright cultivar has foliage tips brushed a light creamy-white color.
On a clear winter day the variegated foliage radiates as a sparkling beacon in the winter landscape.
Best planted in full to partial sun. This hardy compact conifer is particularly useful as a color accent with other slow growing garden conifers.
Grows 3-6" per year. and reach 4-5 ft in 10 years. foliage is Green/Yellow
