This evergreen conifer forms a dense, upright pyramidal habit with rich, emerald-green foliage that retains its vibrant color year-round. Recommended for hardiness zones 2 to 7, it thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well-drained soils. It is highly deer-resistant, making it ideal for landscapes where browsing is a concern. Reaching a mature height of 10 to 15 feet and a spread of 3 to 4 feet, this tree is often used as a specimen plant or for privacy screens and hedges. The foliage emits a refreshing aroma when brushed, adding sensory appeal to gardens. While it does not produce significant fall color or fruit, it is prized for its uniform shape and low maintenance requirements.
