Cupressus macrocarpa (Monterey Cypress)
The Monterey cypress is known all throughout the globe as the state tree of California. The Monterey cypress is an evergreen coniferous tree that bears both male and female cones. The female seed cones are glossy and spherical, with 8-12 light-brown scales covering them. In the winter and early spring, the much smaller yellow male cones, which are just 14 inches long, release enormous amounts of pollen.
