These are high altitude trees and tall as well. Infact, one specimen was measured to be 70m tall. They definitely maintain high standards! It is evergreen with drooping branches and the stiff leaves give a bottlebrush appearance to the twigs. Despite being big, the timber is not of good quality but is used for making smaller stuffs like tea boxes, cases etc. Also the barks make for quite a good charcoal.
