Comments:
This evergreen tree has evenly spaced tiers of horizontal-spreading branches arranged in regular whorls about the trunk. Flower and fruit not significant. Very spiny evergreen foliage. A coarse textured foliage. Can sometimes be rather messy around the base of a tree because of the dropping twigs and foliage.
