Cupressus sempervirens var. horizontalis

The Cupressus sempervirens var. horizontalis, commonly known as the Horizontal Italian Cypress, is a stately evergreen conifer with a broad, spreading crown and horizontal branches. Unlike its columnar counterpart, its wide-reaching limbs create a more open, expansive silhouette. Its dense, dark-green foliage consists of scale-like leaves, providing year-round structure and texture. With a height of 15–20 meters, this elegant cypress is a symbol of Mediterranean landscapes, often planted in parks and gardens for its unique growth form and impressive, symmetrical shape. Its bark is gray-brown, and it produces small, rounded cones.
