Chamaecyparis thyoides 'Little Jamie'

very dwarf atlantic white cedar

Developed by Mike Johnson of Summer Hill Nursery, 'Little Jamie' is a miniature cultivar of the atlantic white cedar. This moisture-loving evergreen maintains a compact, conical habit and only grows about 3" per year-- ideal for seasonal displays, and a great addition to any area in need of a small conifer for character and textural contrast. As is the case for all miniature conifer cultivars, the maximum height specified will eventually be exceeded in spite of the slow growth rate.
