This 800-seed bulk pack of Monterey Cypress (Cupressus macrocarpa) is ideal for large-scale planting projects, windbreak installations, privacy screens, and nursery propagation. Known for its durability and distinctive coastal character, this evergreen conifer thrives in windy, salt-exposed environments while remaining adaptable to inland landscapes.
Young trees grow in a narrow, columnar or pyramidal form. With age, they broaden into wide-spreading crowns. In exposed coastal settings, Monterey Cypress develops naturally sculpted, windswept forms. In protected areas, it grows upright and dense, making it an excellent living barrier or hedge.
Its scale-like bright green foliage is aromatic with a subtle lemon scent when crushed. Rounded woody cones mature over two seasons and remain on the tree for extended interest. Native to California’s Monterey Bay region, this species performs best in mild climates with well-drained sandy soils.
