From the high barren region on the coast of Mendocino county, this species is distinguished from its close relative, C. goveniana, by its thin black seeds. The species name is a bit of a misnomer in that these plants will only be pygmies in very poor soil; otherwise they should eventually grow to over 50ft high. Full sun and well-drained soil. Drought tolerant once established. Frost hardy to 10F, USDA zone 8.
