Mature height in NQ 6m by around 2.5m at the base, in colder climates like Victoria more like 3m X 1.5m. I'd never seen or heard of this tree till I went up to Cairns on Friday, this wasn't even the stock I was assessing, but it just blew me away, why would anyone ever grow another conifer in Oz?

This little tree is quite amazing, the one in the photo is 2m high and I couldn't bend the stem more than 10 degrees from vertical...this is one tough baby. It might take a while to take off, but remember you saw it here first.
