No two trees look alike, which means your neighbor could never find one that looked like yours! The tree grows in an upright pyramidal form with layered branches covered in very deep green needles that are stiff to the touch. The new foliage emerges bright green, contrasting nicely with the darker mature foliage.

It is adaptable to many soil types preferring a fertile, moist but well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. As with many other ornamental trees it does not like a constantly soggy or wet soil, nor an always dry one, though trees have good drought tolerance when well established. We suggest at least 6 hours of direct sunlight  per day for best performance. Feed in spring with a well-balanced \u003cspan\u003eshrub and tree food\u003c\/span\u003e that contains iron.
