Juvenile leaves are found mainly on seedlings but mature shrubs sometimes ...
The foliage is bluish-gray and scale-like. The juvenile leaves (on the seedlings) are needle-like and 5 to 10 mm (3 ⁄ 16 to 3 ⁄ 8 in) long. Arranged in opposite decussate pairs or whorls of three, the adult leaves are scale-like, 1 to 5 mm (1 ⁄ 16 to 3 ⁄ 16 in) long on lead shoots and 1 to 1.5 mm (1 ⁄ 32 to 1 ⁄ 16 in) broad.

The leaves are of two forms, juvenile needle-like leaves 5–14 millimetres (1 ⁄ 4 – 1 ⁄ 2 in) long and 1 mm wide on seedlings, and adult scale-leaves 1–2 mm long on older plants with a green to blue-green color; they are arranged in opposite decussate pairs or whorls of three.
