Seems to be the only species of Cupressus on die university
campus, common and in all sizes except large ones since the
campus is fairly new. Growth very vigorous, partly because
of watering. Male cones seem to be nearly mature but not yet
releasing pollen. Female cones in all stages (on specimens)
except the old ones with seeds gone. Said to be reproduced
by seed and the seedlings relatively expensive.
