The Cook pine, called Christmas Tree in India. The relatively short,
mostly horizontal branches are in whorls around the slender, upright to
slightly leaning trunk. The branches are lined with cord-like, horizontal
branchlets. The branchlets are covered with small, green, incurved,
point-tipped, spirally arranged, overlapping leaves.
The young leaves are needle-like, while the broader
adult leaves are triangular and scale-like.The bark peels off in papery strips
and is rough, gray, and resinous. The trees have a slender, spire-like crown
and look like unusually tall, thin Christmas trees.
