- Slow-growing and coniferous gymnosperm reaching 45 m in the wild. Crown is conical for young trees, becoming more oval with age.

Seeds green with a waxy whitish bloom, not enclosed within fruits, instead resting on top of swollen fleshy receptacles that mature from blue to bright red, are edible and reported to taste sweet.
