H10-12 ft. x W3-4 ft. (Estimated height in temperate climates after ten years.) New Zealand’s tallest native tree, much smaller and slow-growing in northern locales.  Fine-needled new growth is copper-green, darkening to burnt bronze, and eventually takes on a delicate, weeping form.  Young trees can look quite dead when very much alive.  In dry climates the tree requires moderate watering in summer, and should be grown in rich, sandy loam in full sun to partial shade. Hardy to Zone 8. One-gallon size.
