Standing-cypress

In a 2020 study of salt in irrigation water (https://journals.ashs.org/hortsci/view/journals/hortsci/55/7/article-p1119.xml), this species was found to be moderately tolerants of salt (at concentrations considered to be brackish) in the rooting medium.  Plant survival and health were better at lower salt concentrations.  Salt wind tolerance was based on known occurrences of this plant in near-shore, open areas near the east coast of Florida.
