A broad pyramidal tree bearing a strong resemblance to ‘Hoopsii’. Usually grows to around 6 m tall but in exceptional cases, this tree can reach 10 m. The branching is dense, regular and more or less horizontal. The bark is grey-brown, later turning black-grey and deeply scaly. The young twigs are orange-brown. The stiff and spiky needles are intense light blue-grey and very striking. The long cylindrical cones are green first, turning yellowish brown when ripening. A lovely shape that is suitable for use in modern designs. ‘Snowkiss’ has few demands as to soil, as long as it is fertile enough and moist, requires a sunny position. It tolerates slightly more drought than other species and can withstand an urban climate and air pollution.
