Cupressus torulosa is an evergreen conifer tree species found on limestone terrain in the western Himalaya at 300–2,800 metres (980–9,190 ft).[3][4] Information on its distribution further east is conflicting. It may occur in Vietnam.[3] However, according to Conifers of Vietnam, only cultivated forms exist in Vietnam,[5] and the Flora of China reports it from Tibet.[4]
