A dwarf, slow-growing, evergreen conifer, which produces a compact, flattened, globe to dome-shaped bush, reaching about 1m (39in) high and 1.2m (4ft) across after ten years. It has a neat, densely branching habit. The soft, thin, needles are produced in bunches of five at the tips of the stems and are 8-14cm (3-5½in) long. They are nice to the touch and are coloured a silvery blue-green throughout the year. It produces copious numbers of cylindrical brown cones,10-20cm long, from an early age. Its small size, means it is an excellent choice for a small, city or courtyard garden, where an architectural, or evergreen focal point is needed
