Where Do Cypress Trees Grow in Mexico? Sierra Madre Ranges

The native cypress (Taxodium mucronatum, known as Sabino or Ahuehuete) grows in Mexico's major mountain systems:

• Sierra Madre Occidental (west)
• Sierra Madre Oriental (east)
• Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt (central)
• Sierra Madre del Sur (south)

These riparian trees thrive along streams, rivers, and wetlands at mid-to-high elevations.
