Cypress

About this plant

Exotic Cypress (Cupressus lusitanica) is a fast-growing evergreen conifer widely planted in Kenya for commercial timber production, forestry, windbreaks and landscaping. It develops a tall, relatively straight trunk, making it particularly valuable for timber plantations and farm forestry.

The tree produces useful softwood that can be used for construction, furniture, fencing and other general timber applications. Its relatively fast growth makes it a popular choice for farmers and landowners looking to establish trees for long-term timber production.

Beyond its commercial value, Exotic Cypress can be planted as a windbreak, boundary tree or landscape tree on farms, estates, institutions and large properties. Its evergreen foliage provides year-round greenery while established trees can develop considerable height.

For good establishment, plant Cupressus lusitanica in suitable well-drained soil and provide adequate water while the seedlings are young. Proper spacing and management are especially important when establishing trees for commercial timber production.
