Description
 
Miniature Joint Fir.  Choice species from the bleak areas of the "stans" - Afghan, Uzbek, Kazak, Krygh, Paki and Tajikistan.  This primitive Conifer relative likes it rough - just good drainage and a hot, sunny dry spot are it's simple wants although it does enjoy the good life and wouldn't turn down a wee drink and a bit to eat.  It has been quite adaptable to our regular irrigation in the nursery.  In the garden this will slowly creep with more leafless thin green stems which look like a miniature Equisetum until they become bejeweled with red fruits in mid to late summer.  Probably tolerant of more alkaline conditions as well.  This does great in the Denver Botanic Garden.
