The compact leaves maintain their rich green colouring through summer before transforming into vibrant shades of orange and red in autumn. This colourful seasonal display provides strong visual interest while the naturally intricate branching structure remains attractive through winter.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n‘Coonara Pygmy’ is particularly prized for its naturally compact habit, requiring very little intervention to maintain its neat shape.
