Discover the magnificent Cupressus guadalupensis, commonly known as Guadalupe Cypress, an exquisite evergreen tree native to the rugged high ridges of Guadalupe Island, Mexico. Towering between 36-60 feet high with a graceful, rounded form, this cypress is recognized for its resilient beauty and has become a symbol of triumph over adversity. Endangered due to past grazing by feral goats, its population is now regenerating thanks to conservation efforts.

This stunning conifer features smooth, rich reddish-brown bark accented with chocolatey and cherry hues, peeling elegantly like buff-colored cinnamon sticks. Its light to dark green, scale-like leaves create an airy, bluish foliage, reminiscent of a floating cloud around the trunk. The Guadalupe Cypress thrives in full sun and well-draining soil, displaying moderate drought tolerance and cold hardiness down to 15 degrees Fahrenheit. Male pollen cones and nearly spherical female seed cones complete this tree's picturesque charm.

Be inspired by the Guadalupe Cypress's resilience and beauty, and consider it a unique and worthwhile addition to your landscape.
