The juvenile leaves start off oval shaped and pale yellow to green in colour becoming darker green and leathery as they mature.
 
Male cones are 4 - 10cm long with more than 50 scales per cone and usually persist beneath the mature trees, female cones have 340 - 440 scales per cone and are 8 - 10.5cm in diameter, the seeds that are released from the mature female cones are winged, brown and oval shaped.
 
Suitable in a wide range of soils but prefers a free draining soil in humid, warm temperate, subtropical and tropical climates.
