Sabina vulgaris is an artificially cultivated variety of Sabina vulgaris. The crown is cylindrical or columnar tower; Branches extend straight upward, usually twisted upward, with dense branchlets and several dense clusters of equal length at the ends of branches; Scales are closely arranged, yellow-green when young, then emerald green; These cones are blue and slightly covered with white powder.

It is 8 meters high, with a straight trunk, a narrow cylindrical shape and twisted branchlets, hence the name. Branchlets are dense, leaves are dense, all scales, young leaves are yellow-green, and old leaves are emerald green. The cones are blue-green, and the fruit surface is slightly white. Some cypress trees not only naturally grow into cones, but also roll up animal images such as dragons, horses, lions and elephants. Some of them are pruned into spheres, drums and hemispheres and planted in single rows or groups in the garden.

Branchlets with scales are nearly cylindrical or quadrangular, with a diameter of 1- 1.2 mm. Leaf type II, namely spiny leaves and scaly leaves; Thorn leaves are born on small trees, old trees are all scales, and strong trees have both thorn leaves and scales; The scales born on the annual branchlets are trilobal, straight and dense, nearly lanceolate, slightly pointed at the top, 2.5-5 mm long, with elliptic concave glands near the middle of the back; Thorn leaves alternate, spread obliquely, loose, lanceolate, tapering at the top, 6- 12 mm long, concave at the top, with two white powder bands.
