A dwarf, slow-growing, evergreen conifer, which produces a compact, flattened, globe to dome-shaped bush, ultimately reaching about 1.8m (6ft) high and 1.2m (4ft) across. It has a neat, but open to horizontal branching habit. The soft, thin, drooping needles are produced in bunches of five at the tips of the stems and are 8-14cm (3-5½in) long. They are very nice to the touch and become pale, silver blue-green in winter, while being silver-blue on their upper surface and dark green on the under-surface, at other times of the year. Its small size, means it is an ideal choice for a small, city or courtyard garden, where an architectural, or evergreen focal point is needed, as well as for container growing, or for inclusion in the rockery
