A dense upright columnar growth habit is displayed. The young foliage is copper-red in coloration and at full maturity assumes an attractive deep-purple coloration. Rapid growth is displayed and a larger caliper trunk is formed at an early age. The plant is well suited for providing attractive ornamentation in the landscape.
