    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Considered by some to have specific rank C. dupreziana is a geographical form of sempervirens. It is exceedingly rare with colonies of thousand year old specimens in the Tassili mountains between Ghat and Djanet Morocco in the northern Sahara which were discovered in 1864 but many have since been destroyed. Only 150 or so plants remain in the wild. Established plants are drought tolerant to say the least, this may be the ultimate xeriscape conifer.
