This tree is an elegant giant, best known for its deep pine smell. Overall, it is conical in shape, coming to a point at the topmost branches. This tree is an evergreen, meaning it retains green foliage year round. These trees are popular for construction and fine woodworking, due to their nice smell and ability to resist insects. Their bark is dark red and brown, and can get peeled away over time.
