→ As evergreen lifetree, the cypress is often found in cemeteries!
It’s natural habitat is located in Central America. It grows mainly on volcanic soils on rocky slopes and can thrive at altitudes up to 4000 meters. It is grown in Africa as useful timber wood and is commonly used in Costa Rica as a Christmas tree.
The Cypress has a long tradition as a temple tree and was revered as a sacred tree for millennia. In earlier times ships were constructed out of her ultra-durable wood and manufactured doors and roofs of religious sites.
It’s healing powers are antibacterial, antiseptic and expectorant to relieve symptoms of menstrual and menopause and help with respiratory problems, fever, diarrhea, and varicose veins. The Cypress strengthens clear view and resistibility, vitality and mental balance.

Hidden between the branches the Black Poplar appears standing strong in her realm…
Humbly she is showing her being…
Admiring her dress and embracing her fine and powerful energies…
Smoenjala brings a Golden Lifetree Painting as a present…
Thank You
Another Tree calls our attention…
They are all connected… and so we are.

Circunference: unknown

Age: unknown
Healing Effects: animating and stimulating, anti-inflammatory, diuretic, acid-secretory, skin tightening, strengthens the heart and blood circulation, promotes appetite and digestion
Celtic Tree Circle: “inspires body and spirit”, helps with mucosal inflammation, digestive disorders, iron deficiency
→ The Cherry tree was Tree of the Year 2010!
The “Bialbero di Casorzo” is a wonderful example of harmonious coexistence, because both trees thrive. This rare couple has similar requirements and needs and settled peacefully on a small piece of ground. Both trees belong to the botanical order of the rose family and are native throughout the northern hemisphere of our planet. They prefere warm and sheltered sites and deep, nutrient-limestone soils. The cherry is the more adaptable part, because she is widely cultivated in the northern areas of Scandinavia and heights up to 1800 meters. The Mulberry is one of the oldest cultivated plants and is mentioned in many traditions. This tree-couple is a true symbol of fertility…
The healing powers of mulberry help with mucosal inflammation, digestive disorders, iron deficiency and “inspire body and spirit.” The cherry is animating and stimulating, anti-inflammatory, diuretic and acid secretory, strengthens the heart and blood circulation, promotes appetite and digestion and tightens sagging skin on again.
