evergreen leaves are short & flat, arranged in a close spiral along the twigs. The male flowers are small ‘pinky’ ovoids which droop & turn yellow as they ripen. The female flowers are in erect tufts of green scales, slightly tinged with pink. The cones are up to six inches long with flat smooth scales, & they always droop from the branches.
