Sequoia sempervirens 'Adpressa'

An unusual plant which when pruned hard forms a medium sized spreading shrub with fast growing shoots, each beautifully tipped with creamy white. If left unpruned it will eventually grow into a tree-like although sometimes quite branching redwood but with lovely glaucous-grey foliage.

Very eye-catching once established, most suitable for a position in sun or light, dappled shade with shelter from strong winds.
