This tree will grow very slowly to 25' tall and 3' wide. It has dark green foliage with a lot of branches. The tree is upright, narrow, and very dense. It looks great in Mediterranean and formal gardens, also in containers. It tolerates ocean spray. Foliage is blue green. Use this plant as a windbreak. Once this plant is established, it is drought tolerant.
