About This Variety

Meet This Variety

Monterey Cypress (Hesperocyparis macrocarpa) can be grown from seed for home gardens. Choose full sun and moist and well-drained soil to support healthy establishment and early growth.

Sow in a prepared site or container when the growing medium reaches the recommended germination range. Water moderately and prevent the soil from becoming waterlogged while seedlings establish, then thin crowded seedlings so the remaining plants have room and airflow.
