Comments:
This is a deciduous conifer which produces an open, conical form. It has pendulous branchlets on heavy lateral branches. The needles are a deep green during the growing season. They are spirally arranged on long shoots with 40 or more needles on short spurs. The needles turn a golden color before falling in early winter. Medium brown, rosette-shaped cones are formed on short stalks. Tree can be identified by two white lines on the underside of the needles.
