Callitris endlicheri, commonly known as Black Cypress Pine, is an evergreen coniferous tree native to dry sclerophyll forests and woodlands in Eastern Australia. It typically grows to a height of 36-45 feet (11-14 meters) and a width of 9-12 feet (2.7-3.7 meters). This species features a conical to columnar form with dense, dark green foliage and a rough, fibrous bark that can be quite striking. The small, spherical cones add ornamental interest. Black Cypress Pine is particularly valued for its hardiness and adaptability, often used in windbreaks, for erosion control, and as an ornamental specimen in gardens and landscapes.

Black Cypress Pine is drought-tolerant once established, making it suitable for xeriscaping and gardens with low water availability. It thrives in well-drained soils, tolerating a range of soil types from sandy to loamy. While it prefers full sun, it can also grow in part shade. Gardeners should be aware that this tree can be susceptible to cypress canker, a fungal disease that causes branch dieback. To prevent this, good air circulation around the tree is recommended. Despite this potential issue, its resistance to pests and diseases is generally good.CC BY-SA 4.0
