Cupressus sempervirens, Кипарис вечнозелёный, Kiparis TOTEM

Описание

Кипарис вечнозелёный известен человечеству с древних времён. Это растение является долгожителем — известны деревья, которым уже более 1000 лет! Самый старый из ныне существующих кипарисов растет в Иране. Считается, что ему около 4000 лет. Древесина кипариса отличается прочностью и ароматом — из нее сделаны двери ватиканской базилики Святого Петра. А в Турции это вечнозеленое хвойное дерево часто высаживают на кладбищах.

Cupressus sempervirens is a medium-sized coniferous evergreen tree to 35 m (115 ft) tall, with a conic crown with level branches and variably loosely hanging branchlets.It is very long-lived, with some trees reported to be over 1,000 years old.

The foliage grows in dense sprays, dark green in colour. The leaves are scale-like, 2–5 mm long, and produced on rounded (not flattened) shoots. The seed cones are ovoid or oblong, 25–40 mm long, with 10-14 scales, green at first, maturing brown about 20–24 months after pollination. The male cones are 3–5 mm long, and release pollen in late winter. It is moderately susceptible to cypress canker, caused by the fungus Seiridium cardinale, and can suffer extensive dieback where this disease is common. The species name sempervirens comes from the Latin for 'evergreen'.

It is also known as "the churchyard cypress," from being often found standing (as if sentinels) surrounding a graveyard.

Cupressus sempervirens - balandligi 35 m (115 fut) gacha bo'lgan o'rta kattalikdagi ignabargli doimiy yashil daraxt, konussimon toji tekis shoxlari va o'zgaruvchan novdalari bilan osilgan. U juda uzoq umr ko'radi, ba'zi daraxtlarning yoshi 1000 yildan oshgan.

Barglari quyuq yashil rangga ega bo'lgan zich spreylarda o'sadi. Barglari shkalasimon, uzunligi 2-5 mm bo'lib, yumaloq (tekis bo'lmagan) kurtaklar ustida o'sib chiqadi. Urug' konuslari tuxumsimon yoki cho'zinchoq, uzunligi 25-40 mm, 10-14 tarozli, dastlab yashil, changlanishdan 20-24 oy o'tgach pishib etiladi. Erkak konuslari 3-5 mm uzunlikda bo'lib, qish oxirida gulchanglarni chiqaradi. Seiridium cardinale qo'ziqorini qo'zg'atadigan sarv saratoniga o'rtacha darajada sezgir va bu kasallik keng tarqalgan joylarda keng ko'lamli o'limga duchor bo'lishi mumkin. Sempervirens turlarining nomi lotincha "doim yashil" degan ma'noni anglatadi.

Ko'pincha qabristonni o'rab turgan holda (qo'riqchilar kabi) topilganligi sababli u "cherkov sarvlari" deb ham ataladi.
