And in the ogham?

No. The cypress is not among the letters of the ogham, the alphabet of early Ireland from which Robert Graves drew his tree calendar: like ten other trees of the horoscope, it was added later.

Dates: majority version of four published tables. Traits: those the tree horoscope lends (Gerbeaud). Botany: Wikipedia and Wikidata. Ogham: Wikipedia (after McManus and the Auraicept na n-Éces).
