Comments:
Spider mites at times are a serious problem and cause large parts of the tree to turn brown. Deer do not eat the foliage. Foliage is quite spiny. Cones can be an added attraction in fall and winter. Grows best in the upper South. Cannot tolerate heavy, poorly drained soil. Must have full sunlight. Conical form when young becoming quite irregular as trees mature.
