Sugi

It is a very large evergreen tree, reaching up to 70 m tall and 4 m trunk diameter, with red-brown bark which peels in vertical strips. The leaves are arranged spirally, needle-like, 0.5–1 cm long; and the seed cones globular, 1–2 cm diameter with about 20–40 scales. It is superficially similar to the related Giant Sequoia , from which it can be differentiated by the longer leaves and smaller cones , and the harder bark on the trunk .
