Physical Appearance
General Shape: An evergreen tree with a slender, upright growth habit and drooping, needle-like branches that resemble a horse’s tail.
Foliage: The "leaves" are actually tiny, scale-like structures on green branchlets, designed to minimize water loss and withstand harsh winds.
Trunk & Bark: Features a strong woody stem with grey-brown bark that becomes rough and fissured as the tree matures.
Environmental Characteristics
Extreme Resilience: Highly tolerant of heat, prolonged drought, and intense sunlight.
Salt Tolerance: Exceptionally resistant to salty soil and salt spray, making it a primary choice for coastal environments.
Soil Improver: Its root system fixes nitrogen, which helps enrich and stabilize poor or sandy soils.
Common Uses
Windbreaks: Frequently planted in rows to act as a natural barrier against wind and sand encroachment.
Landscaping: Used as an ornamental tree in large gardens and urban spaces for its unique texture and light, filtered shade.
