Description

This ornamental evergreen grows to form 1 or 2 forks, and quickly reaches 40'-80' tall with a thin crown and small, drooping branches. Although it can withstand drought, the foliage becomes much richer when it is properly irrigated. It prefers full to part sun. Seeds are edible. This plant is fire-prone! Please use caution when planting near your home.
