Chinese Cypress (Cupressus duclouxiana)
The Chinese Cypress (Cupressus ducloxiana), also known as the Yunnan Cypress, is a conifer evergreen tree that is typically grown to become an ornamental tree. The Chinese Cypress is native to China, specifically from Yunnan and Sichuan regions where it is found within the deep river gorges. The branches of the Chinese Cypress are slender, densely arranged, and twig-like. Its branchlets can either spread or droop and its leaves have a diamond shape that is typically ridged. The Chinese Cypress is non-flowering, but creates cones. It is not known if the Chinese Cypress is in danger of extinction.
Chinese Cypresses have a typical overall height between 52’-82’ (15.8-25 m) and spread diameter of 15’-20’ (4.6-6 m). Exceptional mature Chinese Cypress trees may grow to heights of 115’ (35 m) in the wild. The trunk of the Chinese Cypress has a diameter of 2.6’-3.3’ (.8-1 m) with scale-like leaf lengths between .04”-.08” (1-2 mm).
