In a Nutshell:
* It is a large evergreen coniferous tree growing to 35–55 m (115-180 ft) tall and with a trunk diameter of up to 1-1.5 m. The shoots are orange-brown and glabrous (hairless). The leaves are needle-like, 12–24 mm long, quadrangular in cross-section (not flattened), and dark green on all four sides with inconspicuous stomatal lines. more...
* Commonly used for general landscape purposes it is fast growing when young, eventually a tall, broad column narrowing toward the top with a strong central leader. New needles are bright green, darkening later, full sun, popular in the U.S. more...
* Young trees often grow 1 metre or more a year and can sustain an average of 60cm for at least the first 60 years though growth tails off as they grow older. Probably not that long-lived in Britain, about 200 years seems the absolute maximum.
* A poultice of the sap or gum has been used in the treatment of boil and abscess pain. more...
