A plant to enjoy for all seasons! In the spring prune the brown foliage and die back to enhance the appearence. I have one set with a varity of other conifers. It is planted in zone 8, a southwest location in backyard providing plenty of Sun.
I can't wait to enjoy the site of it with the others when they reach maturity. Here is a picture of it alone and another with the other conifers in a group photo.
