A Mediterranean garden classic that adds a strong verticle accent. An ideal specimen to dominate a landscape with its densely branched, narrow, columnar form. Excellent next to tall buildings or lining a long drive for a formal look.
Grows easily in a wide range of soil types, provided good drainage. Water deeply and regularly during the first growing season to establish an extensive root system; reduce frequency once established. Feed with a general purpose fertilizer before new growth begins in spring.
With an elegant, narrow silhouette that grows up to 3 feet each year, the Italian Cypress is one of the top trees to increase your property value. Especially since it's tolerant of many climates and gives height to your foundation plantings without taking up a lot of room.
