During the winter, ice and snow would be cut from lakes or rivers, taken into the ice house, and packed with insulation (often straw or sawdust). It would remain frozen for many months, often until the following winter, and could be used as a source of ice during the summer months. The main application of the ice was the storage of foods, but it could also be used simply to cool drinks, or in the preparation of ice-cream and sorbet desserts. During the heyday of the ice trade, a typical commercial ice house would store 2,700 tonnes (3,000 short tons) of ice in a 30-by-100-foot (9 by 30 m) and 14-metre-high (45 ft) building.

Sarv e Abarkooh

5000-year-old Sarv (Cypress) tree in Iran, known as Sarv-e-Abarkooh

Among the symbols which the Iranians hold dear, none is as popular as the cypress tree (sarv). Innumerable qualities are attributed to this tree and its form. Whenever a Persian poet has tried to best describe the stature of his beloved one, he called her cypress-like, comparing her balanced poise, lithe motion and enchanting body to those of the cypress tree, and whenever he has spoken of truthfulness, uprightness and youth, he has taken the cypress tree as a model. Believers in free thought have adopted the cypress tree as a symbol of freedom, an essence without deceit or falseness, and interpreted its barrenness as a sign of its liberty. And mystics have noted that other trees which at times have fresh leaves and at others appear withered and bare embody both perfection and desolation, while the cypress tree is free from the latter.

Painters and visual artists have also focused on to the cypress tree and adopted it as one of their favorite theme. Whenever a painter has tried to depict paradise or an idyllic realm, he has populated it with tall cypress trees, and architects, stucco-makers and tile-makers have amply utilized its form in their creations, and women have woven colorful cypress trees in their textiles or carpets. Adding the rows of cypress trees adorning the walls of Persepolis, depicted under the guard of Persian soldiers, to the cypress trees remaining from the Islamic period, one better realizes the eternality of the cypress tree in Iranian culture, and becomes even more eager to discover the secret of this eternality. In this quest, one comes across more historic events related to the cypress tree.

One of these is related to the cypress tree of Kashmar, the felling of which gave birth to a great tragedy in Iranian culture and literature, inspiring many poets and writers. This cypress tree had been planted by Zoroaster.

Cypress seeds - Cupressus - Kýprusviður - Könglar og fræ - Garðtré

Cypress - Cupressus - Kýprusviður eða Sýprusviður eru falleg sígræn tré frá Miðjarðarhafslöndunum af Grátviðarætt. Þau eru ræktuð víða sem skrauttré í Evrópu og geta orðið 1000 - 4000 ára gömul.

Algengustu tegundirnar í ræktun eru Cupressus arizonica, Cupressus macrocarpa og Spánskur kýprusviður Cupressus sempervirens.

Cyprus Cupressus er stundum ruglað saman við Lawsons Cypress - Chamaecyparis lawsoniana - en auðvelt er að greina trén sundur á að Lawsons Cypress er með flatar greinar, smærri köngla og þolir flutning betur en Cyprustré.

Samkvæmt grískri goðsögn var Cypress myndaður úr líkama veiðimannsins Cyparissus sem drap einn af hjörtum Appóllos af slysni og varð yfirbugaður af harmi. Cypress hefur því verið tákn sorgar, dauða og undirheimsins. Hann má finna víða nálægt kirkjugörðum og grafreitum. Meðal fornra menningarþjóða var viðurinn notaður til lækninga. Hann er vel þekktur fyrir áhrif sín á þvagfærakerfi líkamans og því verið beitt þar sem mikill missir er á líkamsvessat.d. við niðurgangi, mikilli svitamyndun og tíðahvörfum.

Many of the species are adapted to forest fires, holding their seeds for many years in closed cones until the parent trees are killed by a fire; the seeds are then released to colonise the bare, burnt ground. In other species, the cones open at maturity to release the seeds.

Many species are grown as decorative trees in parks and, in Asia, around temples; in some areas, the native distribution is hard to discern due to extensive cultivation. A few species are grown for their timber, which can be very durable. The fast-growing hybrid Leyland cypress, much used in gardens, draws one of its parents from this genus - Monterey cypress Cupressus macrocarpa - the other parent, - Nootka cypress - is also sometimes classified in this genus, or else in the separate genus Callitropsis, but in the past more usually in Chamaecyparis.

Mediterranean Cypress has been widely cultivated as an ornamental tree for millennia away from its native range, mainly throughout the central and western Mediterranean region, and in other areas with similar hot, dry summers and mild, rainy winters, including California, southwest South Africa and southern Australia. It can also be grown successfully in areas with cooler, moister summers, such as the British Isles, New Zealand and the Pacific Northwest (coastal Oregon, Washington and British Columbia). It is also planted in south Florida as an ornamental tree. In some areas, particularly the United States, it is known inaccurately as Italian or Tuscan Cypress; although the species is very commonly cultivated in Italy, it is not native there. The 'Stricta' group of this plant has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
Cypress, Cupressus sempervirens was the first choice for Iranian Gardens. In all of the famous Persian Gardens, such as Fin Garden, Mahaan, Dowlat-Abad, and others, this tree plays a central role in their design.The oldest living Cypress is the Sarv-e-Abarkooh in Iran's Yazd Province. Its age is estimated to be approximately 4,000 years.
The poet Ovid, who wrote during the reign of Augustus, records the best-known myth that explains the association of the cypress with grief. The handsome boy Cyparissus, a favorite of Apollo, accidentally killed a beloved tame stag. His grief and remorse were so inconsolable that he asked to weep forever. He was transformed into cupressus sempervirens, with the tree's sap as his tears. In another version of the story, it was the woodland god Silvanus who was the divine companion of Cyparissus and who accidentally killed the stag. When the boy was consumed by grief, Silvanus turned him into a tree, and thereafter carried a branch of cypress as a symbol of mourning. In Greek mythology, the cypress is associated with both Artemis and Cyparissus, a boy beloved by Apollo. Ancient Roman funerary rites used it extensively. Cupressus sempervirens is the principal cemetery tree both in the Western and Muslim worlds. Cypresses are used extensively the Shahnameh, the great Iranian epic poem by Ferdowsi.
