From Formosa, this smaller (to 15-30'/or 100+'wild!) China Fir differs also in its adult foliage which is shorter and arranged radially. S-PSh/M
Moderately tall tree with reddish-brown, scented bark, stiff, fairly short, dark green, leathery needles and globose cones. Pyramidal in habit with somewhat straight, horizontal branching. An attractive contrast for the many drooping conifer varieties.
