"Black Cypress Pine"

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.

 Tree with mostly erect sometimes spreading branches which may grow to 10 m tall, mostly dark green in colour; bark tough and often deeply furrowed and aromatic wood. Good patio plant when young, hardy.

Care and propagation notes included.

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.

Make a great starter of the Bonsai newbie.
