"If you find yourself hiking in the high mountains, definitely keep an eye out for this little marvel. It looks like a cross between a miniature pine tree and a thick moss, hugging the ground to stay out of the wind. Seeing it in its natural habitat—usually moist, subalpine rocky slopes—is a real treat for any amateur botanist. It’s an ancient plant with a lineage going back millions of years, which gives it a legendary feel when you spot it." Gardener’s Performance Review Excellent
