| Identification | Torreya is a small to medium evergreen tree, with distinctively flat arrangements of needles; that is, the needles on each side of the twig are in the same flat plane. This condition is also known by the term "two-ranked." These needles are very sharp! Cones, such as they are, grow at twig tips. | |
