Characteristics of Cypress
The cypress is a wild tree found mainly in the Mediterranean region. Its Latin name is Cupressus sempervirens and it belongs to the large cypress family. The cypress family includes many different tree species.
The tree is highly resistant to drought and cold and can grow even in the driest calcareous soils. It thrives mainly in the Mediterranean, North America and Western Asia. It is an evergreen conifer and can reach a height of up to 45 meters.
The cypress trunk is renewed in sections throughout the year. Part of the bark is shed and in its place new bark with a vivid color appears. The branches and trunk contain resin, which is why its scent is quite strong.
History of the Cypress Tree
Its timeless value is due to its therapeutic benefits as a remedy, since it is recorded in the papyri of ancient Egypt. Specifically, the use of the leaves is mentioned for internal bleeding, diarrhea and the treatment of hemorrhoids.
The longevity of the cypress tree and the imposing presence it commands in its surroundings have been associated with physical strength, vigor, discipline and stability. The ancient Greeks dedicated the tree to the god of the underworld, Pluto, while later peoples believed that its presence helped guide human souls toward the heavens.
