Native to eastern North America, this long-lived coniferous tree features a graceful, pyramidal habit with pendulous branches. Its fine-textured, dark green needles have silvery undersides, creating a lacy appearance. Highly shade-tolerant, it thrives in moist, well-drained, acidic soils but is sensitive to drought and drying winds. Historically used for tannin, it is now a popular ornamental for hedges or specimen planting, providing essential habitat for local wildlife.
