Summary

Deciduous coniferous trees of very variable size, c.10–45 m or more in height, typically with straight trunks and narrow conical or billowing, rather sparse and open crowns, in exposed situations. At least the uppermost branch systems plus often the upper tree-crown typically adopt a conspicuously asymmetric and usually downwind-trained crown habit.
