This unusual, slow-growing shrub produces dense, bright green to blue-green foliage of an awl shape. It generally has a narrow column with long branches that hang almost parallel to the trunk.

Water Saving Tip:
Turn sprinklers on and view them operating at least once a month.
Check for and fix missing drip emitters, leaking sprinklers, valves, and pipes. One broken spray sprinkler can waste 100 gallons in a 10 minute watering cycle.
