The winged seeds are small, thus dispersing at a close range additionally, only a small percentage is viable. The cones, maturing biannually, have 4 (occasionally 6) scales, and resemble the cones of Cupressus lusitanica (another species which can show foliage in flat sprays), except being somewhat smaller, typically 8–14 mm ( 5⁄ 16– 9⁄ 16 in) in diameter each scale has a pointed triangular bract about 1.5–2 mm long, again similar to other Cupressus and unlike the crescent-shaped, non-pointed bract on the scales of Chamaecyparis cones. The branches are commonly pendulous, with foliage in flat sprays and dark green scale-leaves measuring 3–5 millimeters ( 1⁄ 8– 3⁄ 16 in) long. The bark is thin, smooth and purplish when young, turning flaky and gray. The specific epithet " nootkatensis" is derived from its discovery by Europeans on the lands of a First Nation of Canada, the Nuu-chah-nulth people of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, who were formerly referred to as the Nootka.Ĭallitropsis nootkatensis is an evergreen tree growing up to 40 meters (131 ft) tall, exceptionally 60 m (200 ft), with diameters up to 3.4 to 4 m (11 to 13 ft).
