In its natural habitat, this majestic conifer often grows to a height of more than 30 meters, with a trunk approaching 1.20 m in diameter.
It has an upright, conical shape. Its drooping branches form supple curtains of fairly dark green, even bluish-green, foliage.
Over time, it has given rise to numerous cultivars, including a very wide selection of smaller plants that are better suited to the size of our gardens.
It was introduced to Europe in 1854 by Charles Lawson using seeds imported from Oregon.
