Italian cypress (Cupressus sempervirens), Cone of the Month for June, 2022
Illustrated by K. Fry, @kfrydraws
Also known as the Mediterranean cypress, the natural range of this tree rings the Mediterranean Sea. However, due to its upright form and stately appearance, it has been planted extensively beyond the edges of its natural range and often exemplifies classical gardens and allées.
Fun Fact: This kind of cone scale is called peltate, meaning “shield-like".
