Description
Monterey Cypress (Cupressus macrocarpa grow into bold, fast-growing evergreen trees from the species Cupressus macrocarpa. Native to the foggy coasts of California, these trees adapt surprisingly well to inland climates and offer year-round greenery with feathery foliage and a signature cypress silhouette. Perfect for windbreaks, privacy screens, or dramatic standalone features, Monterey Cypress matures quickly and tolerates a wide range of soils—though it prefers well-draining conditions. Start seeds after a brief cold stratification or soak to enhance germination. Once established, it is drought-tolerant and thrives in full sun. While often used ornamentally, its wood is also valued for its resistance to decay. Give your landscape a majestic and lasting presence with this iconic and hardy conifer.
