Monterey Cypress<br />

Cupressus macrocarpa<br />

Introduced to Gt Britain from the<br />

Monterey peninsular of California.<br />

Its quick growth, pyramidal form <strong>and</strong><br />

resistance to sea winds make it an<br />

ideal plant for shelter belts.<br />

It is one of the parents of Leyl<strong>and</strong><br />

Cypress, which is a hybrid between<br />

this species <strong>and</strong> Nootka Cypress from<br />

Alaska.
