Description
- This is a deciduous conifer; we associate conifers as being evergreen, like pines and hemlocks, but not this one. The needle shedding probably evolved as a way to manage water loss in the long cold winters of its preferred northern climes. The flexible, soft green needles aren’t coated with the thick waxy layer that most evergreen conifers have. Needles turn a beautiful golden color before dropping in the fall. It is uncommon here in southern Maine, but increases in abundance the further north you travel. Grows in wetlands in the wild, but adapts well to upland areas. A striking specimen tree.
-2ft to 2.5 ft high, 2 gallon pot size; $40 each.
