Monterey Cypress – Cupressus macrocarpa Seeds | 400 Count | Evergreen Coastal Windbreak & Privacy Tree

Establish a strong, beautiful evergreen planting with this 400-seed pack of Monterey Cypress (Cupressus macrocarpa). Ideal for large windbreak projects, privacy screens, hedges, and coastal landscapes, this adaptable conifer is valued for its durability and dramatic natural form.

When young, Monterey Cypress grows in a tight columnar or pyramidal shape. With maturity, it broadens into a wide-spreading crown. In coastal environments exposed to salt spray and steady winds, trees develop striking, sculptural forms. In protected inland sites, they grow upright and dense, forming excellent living screens.

The bright green, scale-like foliage is aromatic with a light citrus scent. Woody, rounded cones mature gradually and persist on the tree, adding character throughout the seasons. Native to California’s Monterey Bay, this species thrives in mild climates with well-drained sandy soils.
