Description
An older selection from Holland with very attractive needles with silvery undersides that develops into a very low, wide-spreading shrub reaching about 3' in width in 10 years (DS 625). A low-growing form that originated years ago at the Pinetum Blijdenstein, Hilversum, the Netherlands; sometimes a leader develops that should be removed to maintain the low, creeping habit (DS 469).
