The Australian Cypress Pine ( Callitris ) seems to be the new “discovery” in patio and tub plants. Callitris is a species of Evergreen plants found in Australia. They make wonderful lawn plants for warmer zones, and some have medicinal qualities.

Cultural Note: Seed does not require stratification, germinating at any time of the year if it becomes moist. Sow in early spring in a greenhouse. When large enough to handle, prick the seedlings out into individual pots and grow them on in the greenhouse for at least their first winter, planting them out into their permanent positions in late spring or early summer, after the last expected frosts.

2275 Northern White Cypress Pine Callitris glaucophylla
Northern cypress pine is often seen on sandhills and rocky outcrops where it can live for at least 200-300 years. It is an upright tree of up to 10 meters in height. The leaves contain fine oils, which produce a characteristic pine odor, and its fruits are small, round, wooden cones. Regeneration occurs only a few times a century, following two years of above average rainfall. The very attractively grained timber is used for wood turning and craftwork, and was historically used on stations for fence posts due to its resistance to termite attack. Zone 9 and higher

2277 Blue Cypress Pine Callitris intratropica
Callitris intratropica is a slow-growing native Australian cypress tree, exclusive to tropical Australia. The Callitris species are members of the Southern Conifer group of the Cupressaceć family, with 14 members in Australia, and two in New Caledonia.
The compact, neat tree, with blue-green foliage, grows in the Northern Territory, Western Australia and Queensland, where it is widespread in coastal and inland areas in zones of higher rainfall. At maturity, the tree reaches heights of 25 meters, its branches spreading to 10 meters at the base.
It is believed that Blue Cypress Oil is unique in the world of essential oils. It's the only essential oil derived from wood to naturally contain guaiazulene, the quality which confers its blue color. This quality also allows it to have pharmaceutical applications. All other natural blue oils are flower oils (such as Chamomile, Matricaria, Artemisia and Tansy), which lack the individual fragrance of Blue Cypress Oil. The flower oils all contain chamazulene. Hardy to zone 9.
