This evergreen shrub features a striking spiral form that makes it a standout in the landscape, offering year-round visual interest. Its dense, upright, and pyramidal habit is well-suited to sculptural pruning, creating formal garden accents. This plant thrives in USDA hardiness zones 4-9, tolerating temperatures as low as -20°F. It maintains its rich green foliage throughout the year, even during the colder months, with no significant fall color change. While it does not bear fruit, its glossy, small leaves add texture to gardens or entryways. Preferring well-drained soil with consistent moisture, it performs well in loamy or slightly acidic conditions. Deer-resistant and easy to maintain, it makes an excellent choice for areas prone to browsing wildlife. At maturity, this field-grown spiral form can reach an impressive height of 4-5 feet, with proportions tailored elegantly by its trained shape.
