Monterey Cypress Tree

Cupressus macrocarpa, commonly known as the Monterey Cypress, is a medium-sized evergreen conifer famous for its dramatic, wind-swept silhouette. In its youth, it displays a narrow, pyramidal form that matures into a broad, flat-topped crown. The foliage consists of dense, bright green scales that emit a distinct lemony fragrance when crushed. Highly salt-tolerant and wind-resistant, it is an ideal choice for coastal windbreaks, screens, or as a grand ornamental specimen in large landscapes.
