Monterey Cypress (Cupressus macrocarpa grow into bold, fast-growing evergreen trees from the species Cupressus macrocarpa. Native to the foggy coasts of California, these trees adapt surprisingly well to inland climates and offer year-round greenery with feathery foliage and a signature cypress silhouette. Perfect for windbreaks, privacy screens, or dramatic standalone features, Monterey Cypress matures quickly and tolerates a wide range of soils—though it prefers well-draining conditions. Start seeds after a brief cold stratification or soak to enhance germination. Once established, it is drought-tolerant and thrives in full sun. While often used ornamentally, its wood is also valued for its resistance to decay. Give your landscape a majestic and lasting presence with this iconic and hardy conifer.

Getting to know your Monterey Cypress

Moody, majestic, and more dramatic than a coastal fog rolling in at dusk, the Monterey Cypress is not just a tree—it’s a living sculpture. Native to California’s rugged coastline, this evergreen has become iconic for its wind-sculpted silhouette, dark green foliage, and mysterious presence. It's the kind of plant that brings gravitas to a landscape, like a weathered philosopher that’s seen things.

Monterey Cypress thrives in full sun and tolerates poor, sandy soils. It’s drought-tolerant once established and incredibly wind-hardy—perfect for exposed or coastal areas. However, it can be sensitive to overly wet soil and doesn’t love high humidity, so think twice before putting it in a soggy or tropical spot.

In short, this is a tree with presence. Whether you’re creating a privacy screen, a living sculpture, or simply inviting a bit of coastal poetry into your yard, the Monterey Cypress stands tall—literally and metaphorically.
