Arctostaphylos obispoensis under the Sargent Cypress.
Description
In the wild Sargent Cypress is a small evergreen tree. In most gardens Sargent Cypress will grow real fast to 10 feet, then slowly (1'/year) to 50'. Easy to hold to 12'. It has high tolerance to serpentine. It wants sun, good drainage, reg. water for first year only. It's good as a specimen tree, should be used more often. This tree is very drought tolerant. We had no cold damage at 0 degrees F., I would guess it is hardy to -15 F. It has gray foliage and gray bark. In our county it can become a 70 foot tree that looks like a cross between Douglas Fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) and Deodar cedar. That is in a 40+" rainfall area. In a 20" rainfall, pure serpentine area they grow into a twisted stand 12' tall, looking like old Arizona Cypresses. The only other shrubs on the bad site were Dendromecon rigida and a few Arctostaphylos obispoensis.The photo was taken by Francis Whiting in 1970 on Cuesta Grade.
Syn. Hesperocyparis sargentii , Neocupressus sargentii and Callitropsis sargentii
