This dense evergreen shrub exhibits a compact, upright habit with a naturally conical shape, formed into three distinct symmetrical ball tiers. Hardy in zones 5 to 9, it thrives in temperatures ranging from moderate to cold climates. Its glossy, dark green foliage maintains its color through the seasons, without a pronounced fall change. Though it does not flower or produce fruit, this variety is prized for its adaptability to well-drained, slightly alkaline soils and its tolerance for shearing, making it ideal for formal gardens and topiary designs. Deer-resistant and capable of reaching a mature height of approximately 5 feet, it is suitable for both foundation planting and container displays.
