View prices and availability
Unmistakable shrubby conifer that will only reach a height of more than 2 m in old age. The scaly foliage stands in typical, shell-shaped tufts planted at different angles on thicker twigs. Because the foliage is glossy dark green and the young growth tips light green, these shapes are enhanced. The result is a highly ornamental plant that lives up to the name Gracilis. 'Nana Gracilis' is a slow-growing plant, wrongly labelled as a dwarf conifer. Therefore, the plant is not very suitable for small rock gardens and troughs.
Was named just after the mid-19th century and is to this day an excellent and widely cultivated cultivar.
Our trees can only be planted when they don't have any leaves. Due to the this we will start delivering again from November 2025.
