The male cones are 3–5 mm long and release highly allergenic pollen in late winter. The cones of C. sempervirens can withstand years of being sealed and are known to perform serotiny. [8] The tree is moderately susceptible to cypress canker, caused by the fungus Seiridium cardinale, and can suffer extensive dieback where
Hesperocyparis arizonica was given its first scientific name and described by Edward Lee Greene in 1882 as Cupressus arizonica, placing it in genus Cupressus. [3] [5] This description was soon after disputed by Maxwell T. Masters who, in 1896, published a journal article where he said it should be considered a subspecies of Cupressus benthamii with the variety name of arizonica. [3]
The tree bark is dark red or brown and has deep grooves. The seeds are found in cones about 2 cm in length, with eight scales and five seeds with tiny resinous vesicles. With the tree being a hybrid, its seeds are sterile. Over time, the cones shrink dry and turn gray or chocolate brown and then have a diameter of 1 cm. [12]
Swamp cypress is a shrub or small tree, reaching eight metres tall. The leaves are evergreen and scale-like, except on young seedlings, where they are needle-like. The leaves are arranged in six rows along the twigs, in alternating whorls of three. The male cones are small, 3–6 mm long, and are located at the tips of the twigs. The female ...
The cones remain closed for many years, only opening after the parent tree is killed in a wildfire, thereby allowing the seeds to colonize the bare ground exposed by the fire. The male cones are 3–5 mm (0.12–0.20 in) long, and release pollen in February/March. Typically cones of H. goveniana are smaller than those of H. macrocarpa.
Hesperocyparis (western cypress) [1] is a genus of trees in the family Cupressaceae, containing North American species otherwise assigned to the genus Cupressus. [2] They are found throughout western North America .

Inside the cone are approximately 70 to 100 seeds, brown with a light waxy coating described by botanists as glaucous. [3] [10] The seeds are much larger than those of other western cypress trees, weighing two to seven times as much. [4] Closed, but already ripe, cones still on the trees will also open after being exposed to the heat of a fire ...
