In youth, a slender graceful pyramid. Later a tiered structure, finally a round-crowned tree.
Narrow form makes it appropriate for narrower spaces or as lawn tree.
Fast growing to 60-80 ft., sometimes shorter. Very young plants are gawky, but soon outgrow their awkward phase. Handsome, open silhouette. Long shaggy foliage. Cones, 4-9 in., oval, glossy brown.
