Phyllocladus alpina Pleaching & Topiary sheltered positionPhyllocladus alpina is a slow growing, small New Zealand native tree notable for its distinctive irregularly lobed glaucous blue grey foliage. With a dense growth habit, this unique conifer produces both male and female cones on the same tree. It adapts well to container growing making it suitable for patios or small gardens. Hardy and low maintenance, it is an excellent choice for adding subtle colour and texture to native or contemporary landscapes.
