| Sciadopitys verticillata 'Joe Kozey' |
Narrower than the species, 'Joe Kozey' is an extraordinary cultivar that stands out from the rest. It withstands snow loads much better because its branches are sturdier and they are held more tightly to the trunk than other types. At maturity, the slow-growing Umbrella Pine becomes a large, spire-like tree. A selection from Sydney Waxman, University of Connecticut. |
