Botany

The cypress is a large conifer with a characteristic conical shape, native to the eastern Mediterranean and now growing wild throughout the Mediterranean basin and in England.
It can grow to over forty meters tall and has fissured bark, slender branches, and small, dark green, scale-like leaves. Many species of cypress grow worldwide; the highest-quality oil is extracted from the "sempervirens" variety.
