Cupressus funebris
Also called Funereal Cypress, Chinese Weeping Chamaecyparis, Mourning Cypress
Chinese weeping cypress is a medium-sized conifer, growing 20 to 35 m tall, with pendulous sprays of bright green foliage. It is grown mainly as an ornamental tree in parks and gardens, and as a houseplant or conservatory tree in colder climates.
Cupressus funebris, the Chinese weeping cypress, is a species of cypress native to southwestern and central China. It may also occur naturally in Vietnam.
Cupressus funebris is cultivated as an ornamental tree, due to its graciously weeping form and texture, and planted in gardens and public parks in other warm temperate regions, such as California. It is used as a houseplant and conservatory tree in colder climates.
The precise natural range of Cupressus funebris is uncertain due to a long history of cultivation. Trees are recorded from forest habitats in the provinces of Guizhou, Hunan, and Chongqing.
