    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Endemic to Magellanic subpolar forests of S. Chile..., this rare conifer (related to New Zealand?s Libocedrus) is a slow-growing narrowly conica evergreen reaching 6-60'; equal scale-like leaves give a square cross-section. PSh/M

    By: Forestfarm

    A native of Chile and Argentina. A rare, small, slow growing conifer of stiff upright habit. The small, green, scale-like leaves are borne in four ranks, resulting in shoots with quadrangular appearance. Refer to 'Hillers Manual of Trees and Shrubs' and W.J. Bean. In the wild this plant can reach 70 feet but is much smaller in less favorable climates. Here in Portland, Bob Bovee's original plants have remained at 4 to 5 feet in pots. Still very rare in collections.
