	Cupressus nootkatensis description
		Alaska yellow-cedar, Alaska cedar, yellow cypress (Peattie 1950, Pojar and Mackinnon 1994), Nootka cypress, Alaska cypress.
		Syn: Chamaecyparis nootkatensis (D. Don) Spach 1841 in Lambert 1824; this name is still very widely used, but recent studies have used morphological, phenological and genetic lines of evidence to clearly show that this species falls within the genus Cupressus and is markedly distinct from the other species of Chamaecyparis (Frankis 1993, Gadek et al.
		The hybrid of this species with Cupressus macrocarpa (Leyland cypress, Cupressus [Cupressocyparis] × leylandii), is of major horticultural importance, particularly in Britain where it arose about 100 years ago.

		Even though it is not a cedar, it is also often confusingly called "Nootka Cedar", "Yellow Cedar", "Alaska Cedar", or even "Alaska Yellow Cedar".
		Its name derives from its discovery on the lands of a First Nation of Canada, the Nuu-chah-nulth of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, who were formerly referred to as the Nootka.
		Nootka Cypress is native to the west coast of North America, from the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska, south to northernmost California, typically occurring on wet sites in mountains, often close to the tree-line, but sometimes also at lower altitudes.

	Hinoki or False Cypress
		Most false cypresses are easy to wire, but branches may take a while to set and may need to be re-wired several times to avoid cutting in to the tree.
		Hinoki cypress roots easily, and may need to be repotted every second year, removing as much as 1/3 to 1/2 of the root mass.

	Science Fair Projects - Nootka Cypress
		Nootka Cypress (Callitropsis nootkatensis), formerly Cupressus nootkatensis, Xanthocyparis nootkatensis or Chamaecyparis nootkatensis, is a cypress (Cupressaceae) with a chequered taxonomic and nomenclatural history.
		Nootka Cypress is native to the west coast of North America, from the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska, south to northernmost California, typically occurring on wet sites in mountains, often close to the tree-line, but sometimes also at lower altitudes.
		It is one of the parents of the hybrid Leyland Cypress; as the other parent, Monterey Cypress, is also in genus Cupressus, the ready formation of this hybrid is a further argument for the placement of the Nootka cypress close to Cupressus.

	Leyland Cypress Tree Advice from Mark Hinsley \| Dorset (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The 'parents' of the Leyland Cypress are Cupressus macrocarpa the Monterey Cypress from California and Chamaecyparis nootkatensis the Nootka Cypress from British Columbia.
		Leyland Cypress can only be propagated from cuttings, they cannot reproduce themselves without assistance from man. Therefore they cannot 'escape' from the garden environment and go rampaging across the countryside like some of the other true introduced exotics, both plant and animal, such as Rhododendron, Gaultheria, sycamore, grey squirrels, rabbits and mink.
		Another advantage is that the Leyland Cypress does not pro-duce great hay fever inducing clouds of pollen in the manner of, say, a pine tree or millions of little seeds like a birch.

	Leyland Cypress Information
		The Leyland Cypress is a hybrid between the Monterey Cypress, Cupressus macrocarpa, and the Nootka Cypress, Cupressus nootkatensis, family Cupressaceae.
		The taxonomic status of Nootka Cypress is disputed; in the past, it was widely regarded as belonging in the genus Chamaecyparis, and in 2002 it was classified in a new genus Xanthocyparis.
		In fact the very existence of these hybrids, and their ease of formation, is a further strong pointer (in addition to genetic and morphological evidence) for the treatment of Nootka cypress in Cupressus.

		The tree was found growing on inaccessible cliffs and ledges in an area of karst scenery in 1999; the area where the tree grows is heavily wooded and subject to high rainfall.
		Meanwhile, scientists analysing Chamaecyparis nootkatensis (Nootka cypress) have demonstrated that it is distinct from other members of the genus Chamaecyparis, and, according to research by Farjon and his collaborators, it is closely related to the new Vietnamese conifer.
		Cladistic analysis of its morphology has shown that Chamaecyparis nootkatensis (the Nootka cypress) is distinct from other members of the genus and it has therefore has been transferred to a new genus, Xanthocyparis.

	A Look at Leylands
		Once or twice when it was smaller I noticed a branch or two growing in a direction I didn’t want and I cut those off but that was the only pruning this tree has ever had.
		History – The Leyland cypress is a sterile hybrid, a true intergeneric cross.
		Though it is the offspring of two trees that grow in America, the Monterey cypress and the Alaska cedar (also called Nootka cypress), the cross was discovered in 1888 on the Leighton Hall estate in southern Wales.

	Horse Trails History -- Leyland Cypress
		eyland cypress is a hybrid of Monterey cypress (Cupressus macrocarpa) and Alaska-cedar, also known as Nootka cypress, (Chamaecyparis nootkatensis).
		Six hybrid seedlings (unknown to be hybrids at the time) derived from the Nootka mother tree were taken by C. Leyland to the Haggerston Castle estate in central England where they grew rapidly into large trees.
		Scientists later separated the "false cypresses" from the "true cypresses" and reclassified the tree as an intergeneric hybrid (the crossing of two genera -- an extremely rare event).

	Chamaecyparis nootkatensis - Alaska Yellow Cedar
		Cyparis is simply a variant spelling of Cypress, but its origin is from Greek mythology regarding someone who supposedly was turned into a tree because he was so sad (the sadness in the tree being characterized by either its weeping branchlet habit or because the sap forms droplets like tears on the trunk).
		The word nootkatensis derives from its discovery on the lands of a First Nation of Canada, the Nuu-chah-nulth of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, who were formerly referred to as the Nootka.
		The genus was actually corrected to Xanthocyparis (Xantho - Greek for "yellow") as of 2002, and again to Callitropsis as of 2004, due to discovering it fit with an already-named genus from 150 years ago.

		The cross occurred when the female flowers or cones of Nootka Cypress were fertilised by pollen from Monterey Cypress.
		Leyland Cypress is light-demanding but is tolerant of high levels of pollution and salt spray.
		In both forms of the hybrid, Leyland Cypress combines the hardiness of the Nootka or Alaska Cypress with the fast growth of the Monterey Cypress.
