Very hardy conifer with medium growth. It prefers both full sunlight and half-shade. This plant is suitable for parks and large gardens, for groups and for creating windbreaks. The needles are long and have a bright blue color with a silvery hue. Even older specimens maintain dense branching. They prefer moist soil and thrive best in light shade. The soil should be permeable and well-drained, slightly acidic, and moderately rich in nutrients. They are completely frost-resistant.
