Discovered at Iseli Nursery as a witches’ broom growing on Picea pungens ‘Green Spire’ (a narrow upright form). ‘Roundabout’ is a compact, green, garden orb. Perhaps its color is better described as viridian – a sort of bluish green. Whatever color you perceive, it is a super hardy, symetrical addition to the garden – like a spherical topiary that never needs shearing. Slow growing with needles in perfect scale to its small size, ‘Roundabout’ is a winner for today’s smaller landscapes. Loves full sun and well drained soil.
