Description

Standing 40' tall, bright green foliage highlights this tree. Ideal for planting on golf courses or near the coast, the Monterey Cypress spreads with age to shed its narrow and pyramidal structure of youth. It grows best in coastal habitats where it is not exposed to extreme heat or humidity.

Water Saving Tip:

Mulching and adding compost to soil can minimize evaporation and help soil absorb and store water.
