Interesting Tidbits
A decoction of the leaves has been used for cough medicine. (Plants for a Future) This is a large conical tree with blue-green upturned needles. The seeds in the cones are food for birds and small mammals. This tree can live as long as 400 years. It is somewhat shade intolerant. It can grow in a variety of soils and is one of the first to recolonize a disturbed area. It likes slopes with a southern exposure and is often used as an ornamental tree elsewhere. Its wood is light and very strong and therfore has often been used in aircraft construction. (Encyclopedia of Trees in Canada)
