The cypress is a conifer which can grow very large. In the school grounds, it is 3 to 4 meters high. It is shaped like a cone and it can be grown as a hedge or a tree. The cypresses branches reach to the ground.
Cypresses leaves are scaly and are darker on the top and lighter on the bottom side. The leaves grow in a fan shape.
In spring, small blue or red cones form which are smaller than one centimetre.
