Callitris intratropica is
an oil-bearing tree and has ethno-pharmacologically been used by the native
people of the Australian Northern Territory. Also, many folkloric health claims
have been made not much has been proven yet but often there is some truth to
it. The tree is as well grown in plantations and the remarkable blue oil also
called blue cypress oil is now commercially available. The blue color is due to
the presence of guaiazulene and chamazulene which is anti-inflammatory, but the
amount is rather low compared to blue chamomile and yarrow oil.
Callitris columellaris is widespread in warm temperate to tropical regions of Australia, often growing in areas with low rainfall, ranging from 150 - 750mm per year. It is not very frost hardy, with some forms able to tolerate occasional short-lived temperatures down to around -7°c, and can only be grown outdoors in areas with mild winters, generally growing well in Mediterranean climates such as southern Europe, northern Africa and California. Requires a sunny position, growing well in sandy, well-drained soils. Grows well near the coast. Tolerant of saline soils and, when established, of drought. Prefers a pH in the range 5.5 - 6.5, tolerating 5 - 7.5. Plants are highly flammable and so should not be planted near buildings in areas prone to bush fires. Plants are adapted to growing in regions subject to periodic bush fires - the seed is usually only released after a fire, germinating rapidly to re-occupy the site. A relatively slow-growing tree.

Cypress Emerald Essential Oil
in Pharma
A decoction of the inner bark is
used as a wash to relieve stomach cramps and to treat sores and cuts. The
decoction is also occasionally taken internally to relieve stomach cramps. The
leaves and twigs have been used in steam broths to treat colds and sores. The
wood ashes are mixed with water and smeared over the affected part of the body to
relieve minor aches and pains. A resin obtained from the stumps of felled trees
or the cut logs is used as a coating for pills. A high quality essential oil is
extracted from the heartwood. Called 'Australian blue cypress' oil in the
trade, it is used in perfumery, cosmetics and aromatherapy. The bark is burnt
in camp fires to repel insects. The bark contains 11 - 23% dry weight of tannin.
The heartwood is light brown in color with dark brown longitudinal streaks; the
sapwood varies from pale straw to pinkish tan. The grain is usually straight;
texture rather fine; lustrous; the odor is aromatic camphor-like; greasy feel.
The resinous wood is very durable, insect-resistant, brittle, very flammable,
hard, close grained. It seasons readily but because of low shrinkage is
customarily used in the green or partially dried condition; tends to check
around knots. It is fairly easy to work although there is some tearing of grain
around knots; dresses well to a smooth finish and takes a high polish; some
tendency to split when nailed. It is used for construction, furniture making,
cabinet making, fencing, ship building etc. The wood makes a good fuel, burning
well even when wet and releasing a pleasant smell that keeps insects away. It
can also be used to make charcoal.
