Description

This evergreen tree quickly reaches 40'-60' tall and 30' wide. It has slender, lance-shaped, evergreen, blue green, fragrant leaves found on somewhat pendulous branches. Foliage changes to a bronzy color in cold weather. Fluffy pink balls appear on tree in late spring and fall. The bark is a deep red-brown color and rough; with maturity, it exfoliates to expose a smooth reddish brown color. This tree needs full sun and tolerates coastal conditions, wind, urban pollution. It does best with well draining soil and can become drought tolerant when established.

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.
