Cupressus torulosa seed
LATIN NAME: Cupressus torulosa
COMMON NAME: Bhutan Cypress
The Bhutan cypress is a handsome, tall, evergreen conifer of the high forests, and its fine, scale-like, dark-green foliage and its upright, columnar or broadly conical form have made it a valued and stately tree of the gardens and the forests. It grows as a tall, evergreen conifer, reaching up to thirty metres or more, with the upright, tapering trunk bearing the ascending or spreading branches of the fine, scale-like, dark-green foliage and, through the year, the small, rounded, woody cones of the many tiny seeds. It is a species of the coniferous tree in the cypress family, and it is native to the high forests of the Himalaya and the nearby lands, while it is prized for its fine, durable wood and its stately form, and it is known as the Bhutan cypress.
The Bhutan cypress belongs to the cypress family, Cupressaceae, and it is a species of the tall, evergreen conifer, native to the high forests of the Himalaya, while it is prized for its fine, durable wood and its stately form, and it is known as the Bhutan cypress. It is prized for its fine, scale-like, dark-green foliage and its stately, columnar form.
Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology
The Bhutan cypress has a real and distinguished place in the research. It has been studied in the forestry and the wood science, since its fine, durable, aromatic wood has made it a valued tree of the high forests, and researchers have examined its timber, its growth and its management, while its value in the forests has drawn attention in the international forestry press as a tree of the Himalaya. The plant has also been studied in the botany and the ecology, since it is a native of the high forests of the Himalaya, and its relationships, its distribution and its role in the forest have been examined, while the ecology of the high-forest trees has been of continuing interest, and its fine, columnar form has been of interest to the botanists. The species has also been studied in the horticulture and the land use, since it is a stately, fine, evergreen conifer of the garden, and researchers have examined its growth and its cultivation, while the growing of the Bhutan cypress in the garden and the plantations has been of continuing interest, and its fine, durable wood has been of value. For a tree of such stately value, the Bhutan cypress has a rich and continuing record of study.
Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications
Ecologically, the Bhutan cypress is a generous tree of the garden. Its small, rounded, woody cones feed the seed-eating birds, and its fine, scale-like, dark-green foliage gives a fine, dense cover and a shelter to the birds through the year. It is a tree of the stately, reliable kind, and it is a fine friend of the garden and the hillside.
Its economic value is real. The Bhutan cypress is prized for its fine, durable, aromatic wood, and its value has drawn attention in the international forestry press as a tree of the Himalaya, while its fine, durable timber has been used in the building and the making of the fine articles of the region. For a grower, the Bhutan cypress is a rewarding and stately tree, and for a gardener it brings a fine, columnar, scale-foliaged tree to the garden. The seeds are easy to start — give them a period of cold, damp storage in the fridge, then sow them just below the surface of a pot of moist, free-draining soil, keep them gently watered, and they’ll be sprouting steadily, growing on into a stately, columnar, scale-foliaged tree.
This is a beautiful tree, with graceful green-blue foliage. It is an upright grower, and this is one of the true Cypress (Cupressus). Cupressus torulosa, commonly known as Himalayan Cypressis a handsome fast-growing, cylindrical-shaped tree from he lower levels of the Himalayas in southern China in the lower levels of the Himalayas. It will grow to a height of about 7-8m in six years. They will eventually reach 30m in height and up to 6-10m at the base, although tend to be smaller and narrower in warmer or dry climates.
