‘Spiralis’ is a slow-growing semi-dwarf cultivar that typically grows to 6-8′ tall over the first 10 years, but matures to as much as 30-40′ tall over 50 years. Needles twist spirally around the branches in ringlets, hence the additional common name of granny’s ringlets for this plant. Growth habit is variable. Plants generally form rounded mounds when young but become increasingly upright with age.
