The crown changes from a conical form and becomes broad and flat-crowned with age, making the branches wide and drooping. Its cones are3"-4" long, and have 3 pointed bracts that extend beyond the cone scales. The buds are cigar-shaped, and the bark of the young trees is smooth and grey.

Water Saving Tip:

Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems. Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.
