Report an issue with this species
Cupressus is a genus of evergreen coniferous trees. Species like Cupressus cashmeriana are known for their cascading, weeping canopy formed by long, pendulous stems and aromatic, green to bluish-green foliage. They produce seeds in small, spherical female cones, tolerate drought once established but prefer regular water, and should be protected from harsh weather conditions.
