Callitris robusta. Cypressaceae. Cypress-Pine or Callitris. South-
ern, Central and warmer parts of Northern areas. Evergreen.
Australia.
 Cypress-pine reaches heights of 100 feet in Australia, but in
Florida 40 feet is usually maximum. It is a rapidly growing tree of
pyramidal shape, often reaching a height of 10 to 12 feet in 5 years
(Fig. 13). Trees are like red cedar in appearance, but have lighter
green color. Numerous erect branches are crowded, giving the tree
a compact growth that begins at ground level. Leaves are scale-like,
appearing on angled branchlets. Cones 1 inch in diameter appear
solitary or in clusters during late summer.
 Many old plantings of cypress-pine exist in central Florida.
Trees are well adapted for use as a windbreak and to a wide range
of soils. This tree may serve as an unusual free standing specimen
or in a screen planting. Cypress-pine is reported to be subject to
mushroom root-rot, but this disease is not usually serious.
