Field Notes

Description:

The Cook pine can reach 60m in natural habit. The relatively short, mostly horizontal branches are in whorls around the slender, upright to slightly leaning trunk. The branches are lined with cord-like, horizontal branchlets. The branchlets are covered with small, green, incurved, point-tipped, spirally arranged, overlapping leaves. The young leaves are needle-like, while the broader adult leaves are triangular and scale-like. - Wikipedia

Habitat:

Found in a garden of an upland resort
