Description
This broad evergreen can reach a height of 60' if it grows straight. Better growth results from life on the coast, from which the sea winds promote a broad, open, irregular habit. While tolerant of both heat and drought, the tree does better with moisture and slight exposure to fog. Seeds are edible. Cones take about 3 years to develop but will then be persistent on this conifer.
