One of the most interesting oddities among Evergreens. It is of 
extremely narrow, pyramidal growth, thickly covered with short, close 
set twiggy branches and clothed in grass green leaves. It is unlike any 
other Evergreens, both in shape and general appearance so that it always 
attracts attention. The parent tree is in the Arnold Arboretum, at 
Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts. It was found in the Canadian Rockies 
at Lake Laggan in 1904 by Mr. J. G. Jack, of the Arnold Arboretum 
staff. Its annual growth is only one-half inch.
