Description: A medium to large, Evergreen, coniferous tree with spreading branches. The tree has a broad, conical outline when young and gradually becomes more rounded with age. Long, grey-green needles can reach more than 20cm in length. The needles are pendent and held in dense clusters along the branches, and they appear to give the tree a soft texture. The pollen cones (male) resemble catkins and have a yellowish hue. The seed cones (female) are much larger and are a shade of grey-brown.
