It is found in nature in the southwestern United States and in Mexico.
Propagated both vegetatively - by cuttings, and seeds. When propagated by seeds, if you use good agricultural technology, you can get plants with a height of 30-40 cm with a well-developed root system in one vegetation. In the Mediterranean, it is capable of growing up to 2 m by the age of three.
The plant is decorative both in winter and in summer. Often used where evergreen cypress does not grow. Arizona cypress is winter-hardy and frost-resistant, but young plants in the first two to three years of life must be sheltered for the winter to avoid partial freezing or complete death.
