Cupressus

Cupressus is a genus of evergreen coniferous trees and shrubs in the cypress family, Cupressaceae. Its species bear small, woody seed cones and scale-like or needle-like leaves.

Cupressaceae: Cupressaceae is a family of conifers that includes cypresses, junipers, and redwoods. Cupressus is classified within this family of scale-leaved and needle-leaved conifers.
Mediterranean cypress: Mediterranean cypress is an evergreen species native to the eastern Mediterranean and widely planted elsewhere. It is the familiar columnar cypress commonly associated with landscapes around the Mediterranean.
Windbreak: A windbreak is a row or barrier of trees or shrubs that reduces wind speed. Dense, evergreen Cupressus plantings are used to shelter fields and gardens.
Juniperus: Juniperus is a genus of conifers in Cupressaceae, usually distinguished by fleshy or woody berry-like seed cones. Junipers share the cypress family but differ in cone structure and foliage.
Conifer: Conifers are woody seed plants that reproduce through cones and usually retain foliage year-round. Cupressus belongs to this broader group of cone-bearing seed plants.
Monterey cypress: Monterey cypress is a coastal conifer native to two small areas of California's Monterey Peninsula. Its restricted native range contrasts with its extensive planting in mild coastal climates.
Hedge: A hedge is a close row of shrubs or trees grown as a boundary or screen. Many Cupressus species tolerate clipping and form tall evergreen screens.
Chamaecyparis: Chamaecyparis is a genus of evergreen conifers commonly called false cypresses. Its similar foliage and common name can make it easy to confuse with Cupressus.
Gymnosperm: Gymnosperms are seed plants whose seeds are not enclosed within fruits. Cupressus seeds develop on cone scales rather than inside fruits.
Arizona cypress: Arizona cypress is a drought-tolerant conifer native to the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. It represents Cupressus species adapted to dry, mountainous regions.
