Originally native to Japan, they were first collected in the 1850s in Japan. It is a slow-growing evergreen shrub that typically grows to 3 ft (0.9 m) tall and 5 ft (1.5 m) wide over a period of 10 years. [1]
The branches tend to intertwine and form a dense mat. The leaves are arranged in decussate whorls of three; all the leaves are juvenile form, needle-like, 6–8 millimetres (1 ⁄ 4 – 5 ⁄ 16 in) long and 1–1.5 mm broad, with two white stomatal bands on the inner face.
