A smaller version of the impressive species that nonetheless can grow to reach heights of up to 40 m. For many years, the growth pattern is narrowly pyramidal with an ascending, vertical trunk. The tree does not become broader until later, growing to about 8 m. The reddish brown, fibrous bark is thick and deeply grooved. The branches hang down more than those of the species and the ends grow upwards slightly. Another difference in respect of the species is the intensely, bluish grey colour of the young twigs and needles. The sharp needles are 1 – 1.2 cm long on the main branches and 0.3 – 0.6 cm on the young twigs. 'Glaucum' is a monoecious tree with reddish brown, ovoid cones appearing after flowering. At first the cones are upright, but once they ripen, after the 2nd year, they hang down. Difficult to transplant.
