Generally a slow growing tree, it does well in poor soil and has shown moderate drought tolerance. It's also quite rugged and stands up to the harsh winds of my area and can endure intense cold as well as moderate heat. It also bears beautiful, purple cones on occasion. I'd certainly recommend this as a centerpiece for someone's yard due to it's highly conical shape.
