cypress
Graveyard evergreen tree
Cypress is a type of evergreen conifer with dark foliage and a distinctive tall, narrow shape.
The trees grow in warm climates and are associated with Mediterranean landscapes and American swamps, where bald cypress trees rise from standing water.
Cypress wood is valued for its durability and resistance to rot.
The trees have ancient associations with mourning and cemeteries: A row of cypress lined the path to the grave.
