388 SYLVICULTURAL NOTES ON TIMBER TREES 



It is, however, a hardier tree than the C. macrocarpa ; and 

 is, usually, not much injured by spring or autumn frosts. It 

 prefers deep, moist, humous soils, but will also grow fairly 

 well on thin clay soils resting on broken calcareous rock ; it 

 will succeed on drier soils than the C. macrocarpa. 



The Sitka Cypress is expensive to raise, and it is hardly 

 likely to prove a remunerative tree to plant in this country, 

 unless there be a substantial rise in the prices of timber.
