  • Description

  • Notes

'Little Gem' is an extremely slow-growing evergreen, forming a rounded, compact globe growing about 18 to 24 inches tall and 2 to 3 feet across. New growth, the candles, are bright, light green, and grow into rich green needles. Though this is sometimes available as a standard, it is as its best as a cheery little globe of green, tucked in the shrub, foundation, or perennial border.
