cypress grove
Conifer tree cluster
A cypress grove is a stand of cypress trees growing together, often in swampy or wetland areas.
The phrase evokes Southern landscapes—Louisiana bayous, old cemeteries, Spanish moss.
Cypress groves carry associations with mystery, melancholy, and the Gothic: We walked through the cypress grove at dusk.
The trees' longevity and their presence in graveyards link them to mourning and memory.
