Deer do not touch this plant though they chow down on the holly next to it. I planted it during the hot summer of 2002; it is a vigorous grower in highly alkaline soil. I'm considering including it in a new Japanese-inspired garden.

This is an evergreen shrub, with seperate male and female cones. It can also grow in part shade. Cuttings taken in fall to early winter root best. It is best to take some cuttings because for no reason this plant may just die back to the ground and not come back. It's one downfall. The foliage does turn bronze when we have a very cold/windy winter but as soon as it warms up the foliage once again greens-up.
