Callitropsis nootkatensis - Nootka Cypress

These are a native tree.

I found this tag on a tree on Oakwood. 

Callitropsis nootkatensis, formerly known as Cupressus nootkatensis (Chamaecyparis nootkatensis), is a species of tree in the cypress family native to the coastal regions of northwestern North America. This species goes by many common names including: Nootka cypress, yellow cypress, Alaska cypress, Nootka cedar, yellow cedar, Alaska cedar, and Alaska yellow cedar. The specific epithet nootkatensis is derived from the species being from the area of Nootka Sound on the west coast of Vancouver Island, Canada. Both locations are named for the older European name Nootka, given the Nuu-chah-nulth First Nation.

We have many of these trees in our Ovation planters.

The specific epithet nootkatensis is derived from the species being from the area of Nootka Sound on the west coast of Vancouver Island, Canada. Nootka, often referred to as the "Birthplace" of British Columbia, is located at the mouth of Nootka Sound.  In March 1778, Captain James Cook became the first European to set foot on British Columbian soil when he visited Friendly Cove on Nootka Island.
