  • Description

  • Notes

Evergreen tree grows quickly to 50' x 30'. Upright tree has a feathery and open character. Will take salt spray, full sun or reflected heat. Drought resistant. Very tolerant of salty soil but does not do well in heavy clay. Good as a windbreak or screen. Damaged by hard frost. Native to southeast Asia and Australia.
