It is a medium-sized [[evergreen]] [[tree]] growing to 35–40 m tall. The [[leaf|leaves]] are needle-like, moderately flattened, 1–2.5 cm long and 1.3–2 mm wide by 1 mm thick, grey-green with scattered [[stoma]]ta above, and with two greenish-white bands of stomata below. The tip of the leaf is acutely pointed. The [[conifer cone|cones]] are glaucous purple, maturing grey-brown, 6–15 cm long and 4–6 cm broad, with about 150–200 scales, each scale with a bract of which the apical 3–8 mm is exserted on the closed cone, and two winged [[seed]]s; they disintegrate when mature to release the seeds.<ref name=farjon/>
