Cupressus macrocarpa

Cupressus macrocarpa - Monterey Cypress
A beautiful wind-sculpted 40 foot evergreen tree that is native to the Monterey Peninsula. As a young tree it is pyramidal but with age and winds it is transformed into it''''s well-known striking and picturesque form. Plant in full sun. Drought tolerant. Does best in windy coastal areas, where it is less susceptible to Coryneum Canker (Seiridium cardinale), a bark killing fungus that has killed off many Monterey Cypress, Italian Cypress and Leyland Cypress. It has been speculated that coastal plantings are better because the salt laden coastal winds decreases the fungal spore viability.
