Latin Name:  Callitris endlicheri
Common Name:  Red cypress-pine
Family:  Cupressaceae
Author:  (Parl.)Bail.

Known Hazards:  None known

Mature Height:  20   Mature Width:

Habitat:  Poor sandy soils[154].

Cultivation Notes: Prefers a dry sandy coastal soil in full sun, succeeding in poor or saline soils[200]. A very drought tolerant plant once established[81, 200]. Tolerates temperatures down to -7°c in Australian gardens[157] but this cannot be translated directly to British gardens due to our cooler summers and longer colder and wetter winters. Plants can succeed outdoors in the very mildest areas of this country[81]. The plants are highly inflammable and are usually killed by forest fires. However, they store their seeds in unopened cones on the tree for many years, these seeds are released after a fire and then germinate freely[200].
