Cupressus torulosa, known as the Himalayan cypress or Bhutan cypress, is a species of cypress in southern Asia. It is a large tree, up to 45 m (148 ft) high.[1] The Himalayan cypress is an evergreen conifer tree species is found on limestone terrain in the western Himalaya from 300–2,800 metres (980–9,200 ft).[2][1] Information on its distribution further east is conflicting. It may occur in Sichuan, China and in Vietnam.[2] However, according “Conifers of Vietnam“, only cultivated trees exist in Vietnam,[3] and the “Flora of China” reports it from Tibet, but not from Sichuan.[1]
The plant is burnt as an incense[51, 158]. The leaves are used[272]. Wood – moderately hard, very durable. Used for general construction[51, 61, 158, 272].

This tall tree was found from Shimla.. I am sorry that pics are not clear as this was well away..
Can this be Cupressus cashmeriana ? Looks similar to C. torulosa uploaded by me. Cupressus cashmereana is now considered synonymous to Cupressus torulosa but I have my doubts. Photos of the female cones in this photo are of very low resolution. More close-up photos of the female cones with high resolution are required

I am sharing these pics from wild, near Kamptie Fall in Mussoorie…
please help to reach the id, this looks like a Cupressus to me.. can this be C. sempervirens… Cupressus species in efi If it is wild it should be C.torulosa which is the only wild species in Uttarakhand. C.sempervirens is a mediterranean species [http://www.conifers.org/cu/Cupressus_sempervirens.php] Thanks … for this help… this was from wild, I will take this as C. torulosa…
Cypressus torulosa/ABMAR17 : 3 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (5) This tree is good 40 feet tall and stands nearby where I live. It looks solid and has a serrated bark. For long I thought it to be the Himalayan Juniper but looking closely today I think it is a Cypress. I found a fallen twig and couple of dry mature fruits and brought them home to photograph. Please advise. Cypressus torulosa (Himalayan Cypress)

15 March 2015 I think you are right …, please do a small correction in generic epithet..Cupressus in place of Cypressus.. Thank you … I should have typed Cupressus, my mistake.

Habit : Wild Cupressus torulosa D. Don in Lamb ?? Looks different as per images at Cupressus torulosa Pl. check Juniperus Cupressus torulosa… In that case these must be unripe female cones as per Conifers (Female cones globose or elliptic, grouped on very short stalks, 10-20 mm across, green or purple when young, later turning dark brown, composed of 6-8(10) scales, with a small central depression and a small, triangular, reflexed mucro). .
