Field Notes
Description:
It is a medium-sized evergreen coniferous tree, growing to 20 m tall (often shrubby at high altitudes). The leaves are minute, brown and scale-like, less than 1 mm long, and sparsely produced; what looks like leaves on the plant are actually modified stems called phylloclades. It is the shape of these phylloclades that give the tree its name.
Habitat:
Primarily an alpine or rainforest species.
Notes:
An extremely prized wood for woodworking.
