This rare and resilient evergreen is the hardiest cypress in North America. Sometimes called Modoc cypress, it stands out with striking blue-gray, scale-like foliage and a naturally narrow form, making it an excellent choice for a screen or windbreak. One of its most fascinating traits is its relationship with fire, its glossy, round cones remain closed for years, only opening in wildfire. This adaptation ensures the species' survival, making it a symbol of resilience and renewal. Though slow-growing at about a foot per year, its exceptional color, toughness, and ecological significance make it a unique addition to any landscape.
