The Gardener's Notepad

From Japan, and introduced to America by the U.S. National Arboretum in 1985. Has become quite popular. Columnar plants are either loved or despised. One nursery in Virginia grows them in combination with 'Soft Touch'. Looks cool! Height will be at least 6 ft., and taller in the South.
