Its green and yellow variegated leaves are two attractive shades of green that will add depth and a strong focal point to any garden. This elegantly shaped flowering tree is a great choice for a specimen or patio tree.

The fruiting cones consist of a group of pinkish-colored fruit that burst open to release the seeds when ripe.
