Bhutan weeping cypress or Kashmir cypress is native to the eastern Himalayan Mountains in Bhutan and in adjacent areas of Arunachal Pradesh in northeastern India. It also has been introduced in China and Nepal. The species grows at moderately high altitudes of 1,250–2,800 metres and can reach up to 45 m tall.

• Form is narrow, pyramidal with upright-ascending main branches having drooping, long pendulous sprays of aromatic blue-green branchlets.
• Leaves are scale-like, 1–2 mm long, up to 5 mm long on strong lead shoots; young trees up to about 5 years old have juvenile foliage with soft needle-like leaves 3–8 mm long.
• Species is monoecious, with small male and female cones. Pollen cones are 3–5 mm long, and release pollen in early spring. Female seed cones are ovoid, 10–21 mm long and 10–19 mm broad, with 8–12 scales, dark green, maturing dark brown about 24 months after pollination. Mature seed cones are round, 8–12 mm in diameter, stalked, with 4–6 hooked scales, in clusters at the tips of shoots in early spring.
