Just a suggestion, but you might find some assistance in the Conifer Forum, rather than Botany. I've attached the link to that forum.

Very, very slow growth rate. Good for a rockery. As with all conifers, the flowers are insignificant. Conifers are not grown for their flowers. No pruning required but can be shaped should you do desire. Not particularly prone to pest problems. You would get more information from the Conifer folks.

Here is a link that might be useful: Click here for the Conifer Forum
