This ornamental evergreen grows to form 1 or 2 forks, and quickly reaches 45' tall with a thin crown and small, drooping branches. Although it can withstand drought, the foliage becomes much richer when it is properly irrigated. It prefers full to part sun. Seeds are edible.

Dig hole, insert plant slightly higher than soil grade. Disturb root ball very little. No amendments, just native soil. No fertilizers. Backfill the hole .Water lavishly. Mulch top of soil around plant in a 4' diameter circle. - Bert Wilson Las Pilitas
