We are California's number one destination for rare and unusual Dwarf Conifers.

What are Dwarf Conifers?

Dwarf Conifers are simply smaller versions of their more familiar parents. They are smaller because they grow more slowly, 1-6 inches a year. Much more suitable for smaller landscapes, especially around ponds and water courses.

For example, a native pine might grow 1-2 feet a year where as a dwarf would be up to 6 inches.

Dwarf Conifers take a very long time to reach their mature height, and also tend to have a shorter mature height than their standard-sized relatives when fully grown.

Dwarf Conifers come in a variety of colors. Many varieties have yellow, blue, or purple foliage, and others are bicolored with variegated patterns.

Some have new growth that highly contrasts with the old growth, resulting in a different appearance at different times of the year, and many bear colorful cones or fruits to brighten up a winter garden.

Dwarf Conifers are extremely easy to maintain - that's what makes them such perfect landscape plants.

They naturally grow into the desired shape you bought it for - without pruning or shearing! All they need is an adequate amount of water

Here are some of the shapes you will find:

■Globose - rounded and ball shaped

■Narrow Upright - taller than wide

■Pendulous - have hanging, or 'weeping' branches

■Broad Upright - boxy, equal width and height

■Spreading - more wide than tall

■Prostrate - hugging the ground, like carpet

■Conical or Pyramid - taller than wide, but wider at the top or bottom.
