I have a young plant, around 100 cm in height, settling in very well on the Isle of Portland, United Kingdom. This plant is thriving in full sun in an exposed coastal location, less than 100 metres from the sea, and shows no stress from windburn. The soil is alkaline, and this conifer seems quite content with that.
