Callitris endlicheri, known as the Black Cypress Pine, is a native Australian conifer growing to 20 metres.
Callitris endlicheri develops into an erect tree with spreading branches.
The light green foliage will provide a contrast with other foliage in the garden.
The bark is furrowed and sometimes exudes a sticky gum. Aboriginal people used the gum as an adhesive.
The Black Cypress Pine has wide distribution and occurs in many areas of New South Wales as well as Queensland and Victoria.
Callitris endlicheri has typical conifer growth habit and could be cultivated as specimen trees or as components of windbreaks and shelterbelts. There is some evidence to suggest that native Cypress Pines have faster growth rates than their exotic cousins.
This species is logged in small quantities for commercial purposes. Its timber superficially resembles that of the widely-used Callitris glaucophylla, but is far inferior to that species in terms of decay resistance.
The plant prefers light (sandy) and medium (loamy) soils, requires well-drained soil and can grow in nutritionally poor soil. The plant prefers acid, neutral and basic (alkaline) soils and can grow in very alkaline and saline soils. It cannot grow in the shade. It requires dry or moist soil and can tolerate drought. It is frost hardy.

**Note: For international buyers, please make sure that you are aware of any Customs restrictions that may apply to importing seeds into your country. I cannot be held responsible for any seeds that may be confiscated upon entry to any country. If in doubt, ask me and I will provide you with some advice or direct you to the relevant body of information for your particular country.
Combined Postage/Shipping:
If you purchase multiple packets of seeds then they will be posted/shipped in the cheapest envelope or parcel rate available. What you pay is what Australia Post charges me, plus a small handling fee to cover packing materials. Final postage total does depend on the seed varieties purchased as some species have larger/heavier seeds than others so cost more to post. I don't automatically charge extra for each purchase and in many cases a number of packets of seeds can be posted/shipped for just the one initial postage charge.
To get combined postage just make each purchase on Ebay but don't press the 'Pay Now' button after each purchase. Once you have finished buying, then press the 'Pay Now' button and an option appears at the top that says 'Request Total'. Press this one and I then get an email to tell me to combine the items into one invoice for combined postage. I then send you a final invoice for payment.
