    A stately tree, eventually reaching 90-100', it is a fast grower when young. The handsome, broad head is comprised of long, bluish-green needles and is borne on the top quarter of the height of the straight, reddish trunk. The trunk often is composed of multiple trunks at ground level. This makes an especially desirous effect for informal gardens and provides moderate shade for woodland gardens.
