Monterey Cypress – Cupressus macrocarpa Seeds | 30 Count | Evergreen Windbreak Tree | Coastal & Bonsai Favorite

Grow a classic coastal evergreen with Monterey Cypress (Cupressus macrocarpa). This 30-seed pack is perfect for gardeners looking to create windbreaks, privacy screens, hedges, or dramatic bonsai specimens.

When young, Monterey Cypress has a narrow, columnar to pyramidal shape. With age, it becomes broad and spreading. In coastal conditions with wind and salt spray, it naturally develops a twisted, windswept form that makes it especially striking in landscapes and bonsai cultivation.

The scale-like bright green foliage is aromatic with a light lemon scent when crushed. Nearly spherical woody cones mature over two seasons and add additional visual interest. In ideal conditions, this fast-establishing evergreen can form a dense, tall screen within a decade.

Native to the Monterey Bay area of California, this species is highly wind and salt tolerant, making it an outstanding choice for seaside plantings.

You will receive:
✔️ 30 Monterey Cypress seeds
