Also called Himalayan cypress, this fast-growing evergreen tree is native to Bhutan, Tibet, Nepal and adjoining parts of central Asia's high elevations. It boasts among the most beautiful foliage of all conifers. Its bronzy red-brown bark contrasts the blue-green needles beautifully as well. The tree matures into a rather tall, narrow pyramid.
Tiny scale-like needles weep downward from this tree's branches. Crush the needles to release a delicious aroma. Although the branches tend to grow upward, the long, pendulous and flattened branchlet sprays give the plant a softer habit. Small reddish brown cones are produced annually.
Grow the Kashmir cypress in a sunny to lightly shaded exposure. Full sun ensures the fullest tree growth and uniformity. Any average to well-drained soil suffices. Although tolerant of drought, this cypress species prospers when given regular water, especially in summertime. Kashmir cypress also tends to falter in oppressive heat and in locations with strong winds. Use this tree as a specimen on the sunny edges of a protective grove. Dark evergreen trees in the background helps to set off the Kashmir cypress' form and foliage. (info source: Learn2Grow.com)
