 This small genus
comes from high-rainfall, cool-temperate regions of northeastern
Asia and North America. They feature erect, straight trunks,
covered in deeply fissured, fibrous bark and are columnar to
pyramidal. These plants tolerate cold and are not fussy
about soil as long as it is well drained; most species prefer full
sun and dislike dry conditions. |
