Troll is a densely packed round deciduous shrub that is disease resistant and hardy. While preferring moist well-drained soil it tolerates a wide variety of soil types including acidic or alkaline making it perfect for an urban environment. The multi-stem dwarf nature creates a bonsai look without any pruning making it a perfect choice for rock gardens and smaller and miniature gardens. In Fall, the fan shaped leaves change to a vibrant yellow before dropping. It is deer resistant.
