Italian Cypress (Cupressus sempervirens) is the epitome of stately elegance. With its naturally slender, column-like form and deep green, fine-textured needles, this tree is often used to frame entrances, line long driveways, or create dramatic vertical interest. It thrives in hot, dry climates and performs best in full sun with well-drained soil. Italian Cypress is a fast grower once established, needing little pruning to maintain its iconic silhouette. Though it looks delicate, it’s surprisingly tough—tolerating drought, heat, and even urban pollution.
