This Cypress is one I found just outside Longford Park, mid-March. The large columnar, evergreens sit behind a steel fence bordering a sports ground. Presumably, these Cypress trees were planted deliberately, to provide privacy for those using the sporting areas. The height of the Cypress trees prevent any views into the architectural setting behind, and allow visitors of Longford park to feel entirely enclosed within a 'natural' environment. The columnar form means views are prevented even at ground level into what lies behind. The trees offer no seasonal diversity, which means they fulfill the same purpose throughout the year. Despite not flowering, the Cypress trees have aesthetic qualities with the texture of the green foliage.
At full maturity, the Cypress can be expected to reach heights beyond 12m. The soils are well drained.
