Singing Tree Gardens: Dwarf Conifers, perfect little trees for rock gardens and bonsai too!

June 19, 2013

If there is one thing we really love about our dwarf conifers, it is that they always look perfect. These little trees really shine through all of the seasons, no matter what the weather. They add those bright foliage colors year round, or the form or texture your garden requires.

A special variety of Korean Fir. Leaves on all branches curl upward and back towards the stem, exposing the silver underside of the leaves. The result is a beautiful, upright silver tree! Then for added decoration and food for birds in the winter, purple cones stand upright on the branches. WOW! Not recommended for climates that have hot, humid summers.
