About Sargent's Cypress

From the U.S. Forest Service:

"Sargent's cypress is a native, evergreen tree with a slender main trunk. On exposed sites, it assumes a shrubby growth form. It normally grows from 33 to 50 feet (10-15 m) tall, but in mesic canyons of northern and central California it can grow up to 75 feet (22.5 m) tall. Mature leaves are 0.08 inch (2 mm) long, although they can be up to 0.4 inch (10 mm) on vigorous shoots. Ovulate cones are solitary, up to 1.0 inch (25 mm) long. Staminate cones are 0.12 to 0.16 inch (3-4 mm) long. The bark is furrowed and fibrous, 1.2 inches (3 cm) thick, splitting into longitudinal strands. A well-defined taproot and numerous laterals are formed the first year.

Sargent's cypress most often occupies rocky outcrops or formations, usually in serpentine soils. Soils are usually well-drained and less than 1 foot (0.30 m) deep. Sargent's cypress is commonly found on dry slopes, exposed hillsides, and ridgetops, but also grows along streambanks, creek bottoms, and lower canyon slopes. Sargent's cypress occurs at elevations from 660 to 3,300 feet (200-1,000 m)."


About Jonsteen's Seedlings

All of our trees are seed-grown at our nursery on California's Redwood Coast, which is inspected monthly and licensed by the California Department of Agriculture. Trees can provide a natural barrier against high winds, temperatures, noise pollution and soil erosion, all while benefiting local air quality, wildlife and property values — a Jonsteen seedling will only grow in value and beauty!


About Jonsteen's 100% Guarantee

All of our trees are guaranteed to arrive healthy and in good condition. If your tree perishes despite your honest efforts, we will be happy to replace it with a small-sized seedling for just the cost of shipping/handling. You can learn more about our guarantee and tree replacement policy here.


Seedling Size Chart: Small

Due to the dynamic nature of actively growing trees, as well as the tremendous variation between species’ growth rates, we rely on the cubic volume of a seedling’s root mass to determine its “size” (Small / Medium / Large / XL). Within each size there is minor variance — the dimensions provided here represent the category minimum. If exact measurements are essential, please contact us about current stock.
