Description

First-class evergreen conifer, up to 20 metres high. The high landscape value is conferred by the slender habit with dense fastigiate or pyramidal foliage. Suitable, either as a single specimen or in groups, for medium to large green areas such as gardens, parks as well as for hedges and rows. Rustic, it adapts to different soil and climate conditions, including those in urban areas.
