Comments:
Something for the plant enthusiast who has to try everything! This evergreen, small conical tree has narrow needle-like leaves spirally arranged around the slightly pendulous branches. It retains brown, older foliage for several years before dropping. Newer growth is a bluish-green color. It will be a very slow growing plant in this area. Its bark is brown, peeling to expose reddish-brown inner bark.
