Abstract
This small tree is used for its unusual texture and growth habit. The tree will grow very slowly to about 25 to 40 feet tall (in 100 years) and spreads about 15 feet. On young plants the branches stick straight out from the single, straight trunk but become more pendulous with age. The tree grows in a tight pyramid which can be utilized in a rock garden or other small residential landscape site. The effect is
much like the ribs on an umbrella. Due to the unusual nature of the plant, people either love this tree or won't even look at it. Original publication date November 1993.
