An added bonus is its fragrant foliage, which releases a pleasant scent particularly after a rain shower, serving as an aromatic delight for your outdoor space. The tree's distinctive rugged bark, peeling away to reveal a stunning reddish interior, introduces a fascinating textural element. Intrinsic to its character is its resilience, shining through in its extraordinary drought tolerance, thus being a perfect fit for water-conscious gardeners. This sun-loving tree also does mother nature a favor, as it produces small, round cones that double as a meal source for various bird species. The Tecate 'Forbes' Cypress is hence an excellent choice for those yearning to inject aesthetic appeal and an ecological contribution into their landscape.
