Cupressus torulosa, Himalayan Cypress and Pinus roxburgii, Himalayan Pine, are two subtropical conifers from the Himalayan region that have grown well here. Pinus roxburgii has very soft and long droopy needles. Both seem to have excellent potential in central FL.

How old is that P. rox?

I saw a discussion about Cedrus deodara on an Indian site recently. They were saying that deodars are not recommended for reforestation any longer in much of the Himalayas due to the warming of the region. Apparently they can't attain the girth they once did. They fear that the species may soon face extinction in its native range. Not sure how these two species are impacted though.

SoCal and SoFla; zone varies by location.

If I get an order of conifers for the sale I will look to see if they are available but I don't have any in the nursery currently.

It was planted in Dec. 2005 from a big 1 gal.

Deodar Cedar is short lived around here. They get 15-20ft and then slowly decline. I wish it was longer lived.
