Cupressus sempervirens, or Italian Cypress, is a popular evergreen tree that adds vertical interest to gardens. Its tall, narrow form and dark blue-green foliage make it suitable for privacy screens, borders, and windbreaks, while also adding structure to formal garden designs. Drought-tolerant, low-maintenance, and easy to grow, Italian Cypress is an iconic Mediterranean beauty that thrives in the California landscape.
Italian Cypress is a long-lived conifer that thrives in both coastal and inland climates. Known for its ability to withstand heat and wind, this dense, upright, columnar tree is also known as Mediterranean Cypress, Pencil Pine Cypress, Tuscan Cypress, or Cupressus sempervirens ‘Glauca’. It can grow to heights of 60-80 feet or more. Once established, and under optimal conditions, this fast-growing cypress may grow 2-3 feet per year.
How tall do Italian Cypress trees grow?
Italian Cypress typically grow 40 to 60 feet tall and 3 to 5 feet wide. Dwarf varieties like ‘Tiny Tower’ stay around 8 to 12 feet tall, perfect for smaller landscapes or containers.
How tall are the 5, 15, and 25-gallon Italian Cypress when delivered?
The 5-gallon trees are about 3 to 4 feet tall, 15-gallon around 5 to 6 feet, and 25-gallon about 7 to 8 feet tall at delivery.
What kind of light and soil do they prefer?
Full sun is ideal for best growth. They thrive in well-drained soil and tolerate poor or rocky conditions, but dislike soggy roots.
How drought-tolerant are they?
Very drought-tolerant once established. Water deeply during the first year to develop roots, then sparingly, overwatering causes more problems than drought.
