Short description:
Cupressus sargentii is a species of conifer in the Cupressaceae family known by the common name Sargent's cypress . It is endemic to California , where it is known from Mendocino county southwards to Santa Barbara county. This taxon is limited to the Coast Range mountains. Like Mcnab Cypress , it is one of the most widespread of the California Cypresses . It grows in forests with other conifers, as well as chaparral and other local mountain habitat, usually in pure stands on serpentine soils . It generally grows 10 to 15 meters tall, but it is known to exceed 22 meters. On Carson Ridge in Marin County, as well as Hood Mountain in Sonoma County, the species comprises a pygmy forest of trees which do not attain heights greater than 8-12 feet due to high serpentine concentrations in the soil.
