Pencil Pine Extremely narrow fastigiate variant. A range of narrow clones may be encountered varying from less than 50 cm wide with a single trunk and leader, to much broader variants with multiple leaders. The tips may also vary from narrowly pointed to almost flat. Until suitable cultivar names are given 'Stricta' is suggested as a group name encompassing all these narrow variants.
