A dwarf, slow-growing, evergreen conifer, which produces a compact, flattened, globe to dome-shaped bush, reaching about 1-1.5m (3-5ft) high and 1.5m (5ft) across after ten years. It has a neat, densely branching habit. The short needles are produced in bunches of two at the tips of the stems and are around 2.5-5cm (1-2in) long. They are stiff to the touch and are mid-green in colour. It can produce oval-shaped, brown cones, that taper to a point at the tips and are up to 7.5cm (3in) long. Its relatively small size, means it is an excellent choice for a small, city or courtyard garden, where an architectural, or evergreen focal point is needed
