Young terminal stems are thin, flexible, yellowish brown to tannish gray in color and slightly ridged with the decurrent bases of the singly borne needles. Two-year-old stems are more deeply ridged by the old leaf bases and bear large numbers of small gray spurs. The spurs on older growth are fat, 3/16" in diameter and 1/4" long, dark brown at the tip and grayish black at the base, and marked with rings.
