Cupressus Sempervirens Stricta

Features and Growth Habit

Italian Cypress grows upright to heights of 10 to 15 metres, maintaining a narrow profile around 1 to 2 metres wide. Its dense foliage is rich green and remains year-round, creating a dramatic, elegant silhouette. This slow-growing conifer adds a timeless Mediterranean charm to any garden and is often used to create formal hedges or to line pathways and driveways, providing privacy and wind protection.

Growing Conditions and Care

This conifer thrives in full sun and well-drained soils. It is drought tolerant once established and requires minimal maintenance. Italian Cypress adapts well to various soil types but prefers neutral to slightly alkaline soil. Regular watering during dry spells helps establish the plant quickly. Pruning is rarely needed but can be done to maintain shape and remove any damaged branches, making it an excellent low-maintenance option for New Zealand gardeners.
