The Italian cypress is guaranteed to bring your landscape to new heights of sophistication! Unlike most other cypresses, this type grows in a straight, upright column. Meanwhile, it features dark evergreen foliage that grows remarkably dense. The tall habit is perfect for a privacy screen. Although not as fast-growing as green giant arborvitae or Leyland cypress, this tree still grows 2-3 feet yearly in favorable conditions. Italian cypress is ideal for adding a stately appearance to your home. Columnar foliage tapers to a point at the top, creating a spear-like tip. Whether planted in a row or individually, you'll be surprised at the elegant Mediterranean flair they add to the landscape. Left untrimmed, this cypress will reach 30-40' H x 5' W. Therefore, leave some vertical space for it to grow. Alternatively, you can prune them to your desired height. There are numerous ways to use this classic selection. Line a long driveway, frame your home, add some interest next to a wall, or even use it in a planter! It won't let you down. This cypress features impressive frost-damage resistance as well.
