This tree needs lots of room. Plant in large landscapes or parks, away from traffic areas so that pruning will not be necessary.
A graceful, fast growing, pyramidal conifer with blue/green needles. Horizontal branches tend to droop at the ends which gives the tree a soft appearance, especially when the new shoots appear. Does not need pruning and lower limbs should be left on the tree so that the true form can be appreciated.
