Description

This tree will grow up to 60' tall and has needle-like, blue-green leaves. This very hardy tree usually has a straight tall gray colored trunk, very fissured. It can tolerate urban conditions so it can be used as a specime or planted for a privacy hedge. Brown cones appear on the tree. It can be grown in full to part sun with well draining soil. It needs a moderate amount of watering. A beautiful conifer for an alpine or woodland setting.
