Read detailed description :

Straight and low pyramidal form, with very intense blue foliage. Resistant to wind. Incredible brown-red, furrowed, thick and spongy bark. Imposing trunk on the older subjects. Its needles give off a strong smell of aniseed when rubbed. Green and lumpy cones of 6-8cm, turning brown with age. Any deep soil, even chalky. Isolate in large gardens and parks
