A delightful, dense, dwarf selection from the research of Dr. Sid Waxman at the University of Connecticut, ‘Soft Touch’ is a Cary Award recipient for good reason. Its growth habit and slow growth speed make it perfect for small space use while its short, thin, wavy needles, tightly packed on close-knit branches make you want to reach out and touch them. You’ll love this plant’s soft feel and great landscape look and the fact that it is so easy to grow, prospering nicely in any sunny location with moist, well-drained soil
