Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This is very attractive evergreen from south and central China. Its lovely, slender, 6-8" needles give it the common name of 'horsetail pine'. Becoming a large, 80-150' (though much smaller in cultivation) tree with a broad, rounded form and lovely gray bark which becomes scaly and plated on older specimens. This tree is also widely used as a timber tree; though it is most often used for paper pulp. Other uses are turpentine and resin, the pulp is a source of vanillin and the leaves are also used to give a smoky flavor to black tea such as Lapsang souchong. S/M-D
