Cupressus macrocarpa is a fast-growing, evergreen California native featuring deep green or chartreuse foliage and bark that is reddish-brown when young, aging to gray with thick, fibrous furrows. The foliage emits a strong, pleasant lemon/citrus scent when crushed. Excurrent and pyramidal when young, it develops into an irregular, picturesque, often windswept form with age. Uses include as a windbreak, trimmed into dense hedges, or as a standalone specimen. It can develop into a large, heavy shade tree. Excellent in seacoast landscapes. Moderate to low water use. Drought tolerant once established, but performs best with regular watering. It prefers full sun but tolerates partial shade. Adapts to sand, clay, and acidic, nutrient-poor soils, provided they are well-draining. Resistant to Verticillium wilt. Deer-resistant. Cold hardy to 5°F.
