Cupressus torulosa (Himalayan Cypress)

Cupressus torulosa (Himalayan Cypress) is a majestic evergreen conifer valued for its graceful, weeping habit and attractive foliage. This tall tree features dense, dark green to blue-green foliage that hangs in soft, pendulous sprays, creating a elegant silhouette. The tree develops a straight trunk with reddish-brown bark that becomes fissured with age, adding to its ornamental appeal. Small, round cones provide additional interest and contrast against the fine-textured foliage.

Ideal for large gardens, parks, and avenue planting, Himalayan Cypress thrives in well-drained soils and full sun. It demonstrates good drought tolerance once established and is relatively fast-growing. This conifer is particularly valued for its architectural form, year-round interest, and ability to provide both screening and a dramatic focal point in landscape designs.
