Summary

Moderate to large-sized, fast-growing, evergreen trees, mostly with dense, narrow, tapering pyramidal crowns. Leaves are ultimately shed cleanly by basal abscission zones which leave smooth, nearly circular scars to their shoots. Unlike Picea, leaves remain persistent on their shoots when branches are dried. Female cones are erect and seed liberation is by dismemberment of cone scales from the central columella, allowing both seed and scales to fall individually in the wind.
