Neutral Baa On Jan 9, 2002, Baa wrote:

A conical, evergreen tree from West China.

Has blue-dark green, needle like leaves borne in whorls on the branches. The bark is ridged and a purple/grey colour. The cylindrical cones start of green but turn to a light brown and are between 2-6 inches in height.

Likes a well drained, deep, moist, neutral-acid soil in full sun.
