Overview

The China Fir, or Cunninghamia lanceolata, is an evergreen conifer majestic in stature, reaching heights of 40-70 feet with a spread of 15-30 feet. Its lance-shaped, blue-green leaves add a unique texture, while the conical form exudes elegance. Hardy in USDA zones 7-9, this specimen thrives in full sun and well-drained soil.
