Fast-growing evergreen conifer to 100’ tall x 40’ wide. This stately variety develops a strongly-pyramidal growth habit and features horizontal branching clad in rich, finely divided, bluish-green foliage that exhibits a slight upward-arch at the branch tips. Adding further appeal to this long-lived variety is its attractive, deeply-furrowed reddish-tan bark. This oak root fungus variety is great for planting in woodland areas or in large stands to create a forest-like appearance. Prefers an evenly moist soil with a moderately acidic PH level, and thrives in a full sun exposure.
USDA Zone: 8A-9B
