The Italian Cypress is an extremely narrow upright evergreen conifer that puts a tall exclamation point! on any landscape where it will grow: USDA Zones 7b-10b. The tree is less than a tenth as wide as it is tall, growing up to 30 feet in height and only 3 to 4 feet wide at maturity. It has an extremely unique form that provides a classic distinction for Mediterranean themed landscapes, tall screens, and framing accents. The deep blue-green foliage grows in dense sprays. Exceptionally low maintenance and heat and drought tolerant. No pruning necessary to keep its narrow form.

The Italian Cypress is easy to grow in a loose, well-drained soil of average to low fertility and full to mostly sun. As with so many other plants, constantly soggy or wet soil is problematic. Exceptionally low maintenance requiring little if any pruning to keep its narrow form.
