Monterey cypress is one of the parents of the fast-growing cultivated hybrid Leyland cypress, Cupressus × Leylandii, the other parent being Nootka cypress (Callitropsis nootkatensis). [10] Hesperocyparis macrocarpa cultivars grown in New Zealand are: [33] 'Aurea Saligna'—long cascades of weeping, golden-yellow, thread-like foliage on a ...
Perhaps it’s displaying the weeping form of soft-needled cypress leaves, or the spiraling trunk of a bluish cedar. Maybe it’s the papery bark of a maple or the bloom of a magnolia species that ...

[1] This characterization may lead to a bent crown and pendulous branches that can cascade to the ground. While weepyness occurs in nature, most weeping trees are cultivars. [1]
Although widely used for screening, it has not been planted much for forestry purposes. In both forms of the hybrid, Leyland cypress combines the hardiness of the Nootka or Alaska cypress with the fast growth of the Monterey cypress. [5] The tallest Leyland cypress documented is about 40 m (130 ft) tall and still growing. [18]
The fast-growing hybrid Leyland cypress (Cupressus × leylandii), much used in gardens, draws one of its parents from this genus (Cupressus macrocarpa, Monterey cypress); the other parent, Callitropsis nootkatensis (Nootka cypress), is also sometimes classified in this genus, or else in the separate genus Xanthocyparis, but in the past more ...
