Description
Only a tiny region of Southern Spain and Northern Morocco has this green conifer in the wild. With a broad pyramidal crown, it grows to be a big tree. The bark is light grey to grey in color and has a smooth texture that lasts for a long time. The bark only comes off in plates as it becomes older. The juvenile twigs of this species are reddish brown with needles radiating in all directions, which is a significant and distinguishing characteristic.
