EXOTIC CONIFERS
We have a limited number of exotic conifers available. These have been selected for specific characteristics such as color, needle retention, late flushing and exceptional flexibility to climate and soil. We are still learning about their specific characteristics and limitations. Check out our larger exotics in plant bands.
All Exotics are grown in styroblock containers:
- 2A, 4A, 6 - 13-7/8 inch wide by 23-5/8 inch long
