The Gardener's Notepad
Aptly named, as the branches are long stringy cords that could be used as described. Very unique, and even more so when grafted on a standard! Dislikes extreme heat, and should have good morning-early afternoon light followed by shade in order to keep it cooler. Not to be confused with Thuja occidentalis 'Filiformis'.
