	Alerce - Fitzroya cupressoides: More Information - ARKive
		The massive over-exploitation of the species caused population numbers to be decimated, and by the early 1900s a third of the Fitzroya forests had been lost (1).
		Today, the coastal populations appear to be declining although the direct cause is unclear; large tracts of dead, white stems have been found, although the time of death in many of these stands is unknown (7).
		Logging of Fitzroya cupressoides is prohibited throughout the range of this magnificent tree, and international trade is banned by its listing on Appendix I of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) (1).

	Fitzroya - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fitzroya is a genus in the cypress family Cupressaceae with only a single species, Fitzroya cupressoides native to the Andes mountains of central Chile and adjoining Argentina, where it is an important member of the Valdivian temperate rain forests.
		Much larger specimens existed in the past before the species was heavily logged in the 19th and 20th centuries; Charles Darwin reported finding a specimen 12.6 m in diameter, which, if accurately measured, would have made it the stoutest tree ever measured anywhere in the world.
		A team of researchers from the University of Tasmania found fossilized foliage of Fitzroya on the Lea River of northwest Tasmania.

	Global Trees Campaign - Resources
		Fitzroya forests have a unique composition and structure and a high ecological value.
		In the Chilean Coastal Range between 40º S and 43º S, the expansion of protected areas of Fitzroya is an agreed national priority.
		In particular, the Fitzroya forests with very old, giant trees growing on fragile sites around the Reloncaví Estuary in the Chilean Andes should be declared a Protected Area.

	THE USE AND CONSERVATION OF FITZROYA CUPRESSOIDES (ALERCE) FORESTS IN CHILE
		Fitzroya cupressoides (alerce) is a long-lived conifer endemic to the temperate rainforests of southern Chile (39°50' to 43°30'S) and portions of adjacent Argentina.
		Fitzroya may live for over 3,600 years, reaching 5 m in diameter and 50 m in height.
		Therefore, Fitzroya is considered a threatened species; cutting of living trees is prohibited and it is listed under CITES Appendix I, forbidding its international trade.

	IUCN Red List of Threatened Species: Fitzroya cupressoides
		The largest concentration of the species, at the southern end of the Chilean depression, was exploited in the 18th and 19th centuries, leaving no remains except flened stumps.
		By the early 1900s a third of the Fitzroya forests had been removed.

		In 1990, Chile exported 41876m³ of Fitzroya cupressoides, principally to East Germany and the United Kingdom.
		Chile declared Fitzroya cupressoides a National Monument in 1976 and both Chile and Argentina have prohibited logging of this species (Farjon et al.

		Yes, CITES does list Fitzroya but if one is importing small quantities of seed for horticultural, not commercial, purposes then the ban does not apply(I think).
		I also noted with surprise that I have seven of nine of the Chilean native conifers, quite without planning; A. araucana, Autrocedrus chilensis, F cuppresoides, Pilgerodendron, Prumnopitys andina, Podocarpus salignus and Saxothegea conspicua lacking a Lepidothamnus and Podocarpus sp.
		My Fitzroya, such as it is, is quite beautiful and I'd encourage you guys to try a few more in protected locations; perhaps you'll be rewarded as I have.

	Cupressaceae description
		Fitzroya cupressoides, with Sequoiadendron giganteum a close second.
		Although the Pinaceae continue to account for the majority of dendrochronological work, a great deal has nonetheless been done with the Cupressaceae, particularly in the genera Fitzroya, Juniperus, Sequoiadendron, and Thuja.
		The heartwood of many species of Cupressaceae is resistant to termite damage and fungal decay, and therefore it is widely used in contact with soil [e.g., for fenceposts].

		A team of researchers from the University of Tasmania found the fossilized foliage of the giant conifer, fitzroya tasmanensis, on the Lea River in the Cradle Mountain area about 18 months ago.
		Hill, who is recognized as a world authority in the area of macrofossils, led the team of University of Tasmania researchers that found the fossilised plant.
		These forests could have included the closely related Tasmanian king billy pine, fosssilised remains of which were found near those of the fitzroya.

		Alerce (Fitzroya cupressoides) as Natural Monument: an economic factor of development in Lake district, Chile
		This paper analyses the possibilities of improving teh economic development of the Lake Region in Chile through a tourism proposal associated to alerce as a natural monument.
		In consequence, the economy associated to this resource, product of the demand of the new tourist destinations to pristine places which consider the environment, can be considered a suitable instrument for local development.

		The wild beauty of nature makes an impression in Pumalín Park, a refuge of centenarian forests of Patagonia cypress (Fitzroya cupressoides), lenga beeches (Nothofagus pumilio) and cypresses (Cupressus sempervivens), which seem to be the guardians of a space of disturbing beauty, with glaciers, fiords, hidden lakes and silent waterfalls.
		Nature has resorted to all of its magic on the 317000 hs of Pumalín, the most important private park in Chile, to create places that move travellers hiking along the zigzagging trails of this protected area due to its delicate loveliness.
