The Gardener's Notepad

Extra nice glossy green needles, deer resistance, and will grow just fine in full sun or almost full shade. The only caution for us in the Northeast is to consider sheltering it a bit to minimize the potential for cold injury over Winter. A very attractive plant for sure, and one of the best ways to use it is in large masses.
