| Of the small cushion shaped pines for the rock garden the shrub pine cultivar known as ‘Driscoll' is rare but very interesting. This dwarf conifer only grows to 6 inches in height but can reach out to 16 inches across after 10 years of growth. Very dwarf and slow growing. Each year only 1.5” of new growth occurs.

| I like that Dave. I'll bet it's a semi-difficult conifer to graft and hence the rarity. Dax |

| Nice specimen you've Dave! Dax, this one is pretty rare which will not say that it's difficult to propagate. This is the one at my collection |
