Comments:
This plant can be a large shrub to medium-sized tree. Leaves are scale-like and look somewhat like the needles of pines. Plant forms vary greatly depending on the age of the plant. Trees become straggly over time. A special feature is the gray-green foliage. They are associated with relatively dry soils and can tolerate the salt conditions of coastal beaches.
