5 from 1 customers

Cupressus Totem, otherwise known as the Italian Cypress Totem, is a conifer valued for its slender, upright habit that brings an architectural effect. It carries fine, fresh-green foliage which is held tightly on upright branches as it grows to 4 m tall and 1 m wide. Cupressus Totem is a great plant for bringing height and depth to plantings and it often planted in a series or as pillars at an entranceway.

Features and Growth Habit

Cupressus Totem grows upright to around 6 to 8 metres tall with a slim profile of about 1 to 1.5 metres wide. Its dense foliage remains vibrant year-round, providing a clean and elegant silhouette. This variety is prized for its neat, upright growth and versatility in landscape design. It is often used to frame entrances or line driveways, adding structure and height without occupying much horizontal space. Its strong vertical presence also makes it suitable for urban gardens where space is limited.

Growing Conditions and Care

This cypress thrives best in full sun and well-drained soil. It is drought tolerant once established and requires minimal maintenance. Suitable for hedging, screening, or as a specimen tree, Cupressus Totem adapts well to New Zealand’s climate and garden environments. While it tolerates dry conditions, regular watering during prolonged dry spells supports optimal growth. It benefits from occasional pruning to maintain its shape and remove any dead or damaged branches, ensuring a healthy, tidy appearance over time.
