Description
This northern native evergreen is an excellent addition to buffer zone plantings or drier portions along the edges of wetland areas. It tolerates low-fertility, acidic sites, and does well in both dry and wet areas. It provides winter cover for birds and small mammals, and makes for a favorite Christmas tree.
