Monterey Cypress – Cupressus macrocarpa Seeds | 100 Count | Coastal Evergreen Windbreak | Hedge & Bonsai Tree

Plant a resilient coastal classic with this 100-seed pack of Monterey Cypress (Cupressus macrocarpa). Ideal for windbreaks, privacy screens, hedges, and bonsai cultivation, this evergreen conifer is prized for its adaptability and striking form.

Young trees grow in a narrow columnar or pyramidal shape, gradually developing a broader, spreading crown with age. In windy coastal areas, Monterey Cypress naturally forms dramatic, twisted silhouettes shaped by sea breezes and salt spray. In protected landscapes, it grows upright and dense, creating an excellent screen.

The bright green, scale-like foliage is aromatic with a subtle lemon scent when crushed. Rounded woody cones add ornamental interest and mature over two growing seasons.

Native to the Monterey Bay region of California, this species thrives in mild climates and sandy soils, making it especially well-suited for seaside planting.
