Monterey Cypress – Cupressus macrocarpa Seeds | 200 Count | Coastal Evergreen Windbreak & Hedge Tree

Grow a resilient and iconic coastal evergreen with this 200-seed pack of Monterey Cypress (Cupressus macrocarpa). Known for its wind-sculpted beauty and strong adaptability, this species is perfect for windbreaks, privacy screens, hedges, topiary, and bonsai projects.

When young, Monterey Cypress displays a neat columnar to pyramidal form. As it matures, it develops a broader, spreading crown. In coastal environments with salt spray and strong winds, trees naturally take on dramatic, twisted shapes. In sheltered landscapes, they grow tall, straight, and dense.

Its bright green, scale-like foliage releases a light lemon scent when crushed. Rounded woody cones mature slowly and add ornamental character. Native to California’s Monterey Bay, this tree thrives in mild climates with sandy, well-drained soils.
