Medium-sized tree, 6-10 (15) m tall, 3-6 m wide; a slender, extended conical habit when young, gradually becoming wider, presenting itself as a closed, clearly distinct cone with branches to the ground until it is old; branches initially slenderly upright, later extended and arching upright, lower branches lilting; medium-growing in the first few years, 20-40 cm; after ca. 15 years clearly slower at 10-15 cm a year; does not grow nearly as slowly as is often claimed

Stem stays shiny and smooth when young, with thin strips when older, grey-black; twigs chequered like snake skin
Blossom
Male flowers in clusters, golden yellow; at the base of May shoots

Needles in twos, 5-8 cm long (half as long as those of P. nigra), dark green, shiny, only twig tips bent, in clusters at the end of shoots
Fruits
Conical, dark to light brown, decorative cones up to 7.5 cm long
Roots
Deep roots, extremely adaptable, also dealing with little soil volume
Demands
Full sun, takes well to heat and drought, frost hardy, does not need wind protection, good for urban environments
