Branches diverging from trunk at right angles, the lower often drooping in age; twigs becoming purplish green or brown, glabrous, glaucous when young. Buds exposed, brown, ovate to fusiform, extremely large, not resinous, apex pointed; basal scales short, broad, equilaterally triangular, glabrous, not resinous, margins entire, apex sharp-pointed.

Pollen cones at pollination yellow to yellow-green. Seed cones ovoid, 7–10 × 4–5cm, pale purplish brown, borne on stout peduncles, apex round; scales ca. 1.5–2 × 2–2.5cm, glabrous; bracts exserted, not reflexed.
