King William's Pine
Cryptomeria japonica-'Yoshino'
Native to Asia, these trees have unusual needles that are arranged along the branches
in an overlapping pattern like fish scales. The branches are open. And the bark on the trunk is
quite coarse. They are capable of reaching heights of 125 feet. And they grow very well in St.
Tammany Parish. As with the Deodars, they are in extremely limited supply.
