The cypresses are highly ornamental evergreen trees,greatly varying in habit, hardy only in California andthe Gulf states. The hardiest seems to be C. Macnab-iana and C. arizonica, which will stand many degrees offrost in a sheltered position; also C. macrocarpa, , C. funebris and C torulosa are of greaterhardiness than the others. They stand pruning well,and some species are valuable for hedges, C. macrocarpabeing especially extensively planted for this purposein Cahfornia. C. arizonica yields excellent cypresses seem not to be very particular in regard. 1146. Cupressus sempervirens. Verona.
