Deciduous conifer with a broad, weeping crown. This tree does not naturally produce a central leader and all twigs hang downwards. The eventual height is therefore strongly dependent on the graft height. As the species is used as rootstock, the bark is therefore like that of T. distichum: reddish brown, fibrous, grooved. When mature the trunk twists. The twigs are yellow-green first and red brown when lignified. The dark green needles are spread out on short shoots. In autumn the needles turn orange-brown to reddish brown. They fall off with the short shoots. Due to the lack of a central leader, this tree is not suitable as an avenue or street tree, but its beautifully weeping crown makes it very fine in parks and gardens. Prefers to grow on moist to wet soil, although it can tolerate a moderately dry soil.
