Plant Description

The Cupressus sempervirens var. stricta, commonly known as the Italian Cypress or Pencil Cypress, is a tall, slender evergreen conifer prized for its iconic columnar form. Its densely packed, dark green foliage maintains a vertical, architectural silhouette, making it a favorite for framing entrances, creating privacy screens, or accentuating landscapes. The tree’s scale-like leaves exude a subtle resinous fragrance, while its small, rounded cones add ornamental charm. Resistant to drought and poor soils, the Italian Cypress is synonymous with elegance and Mediterranean landscapes.
