MICROBIOTA decussata 'Jacobsen'
|
Description: A dwarf and more upright version this low-growing evergreen conifer which is tolerant of dry shade. The fine-textured foliage resembles a juniper. While "evergreen" may be a slight misnomer (the foliage does turn brownish in winter), it does retain its needles, and thus a winter presence. Summer color is a fresh green. This tough customer hails from Siberia, so it is also quite cold hardy, to -40 F. Deer have not bothered it here in NJ. Stays very low and spreading, from 6-12 feet wide. It likes good drainage and cool temperatures, and will tolerate windy, exposed sites and slopes.
