Italian Cypress 1 Live Evergreen Tree, 1 Gallon Pot – Cupressus sempervirens

Italian Cypress (Cupressus sempervirens) is a Mediterranean evergreen conifer admired for its elegant upright growth, dense foliage, and distinctive architectural appearance. Its small, scale-like leaves form sprays of dark green to blue-green foliage that retain their color throughout the year. Italian Cypress is widely used in formal landscapes, Mediterranean-inspired gardens, and ornamental plantings where strong vertical accents are desired.

This evergreen tree is especially valued for its narrow, columnar appearance in commonly cultivated upright forms. It can create a striking visual effect along driveways, entryways, garden pathways, and property boundaries. Italian Cypress also complements stonework, courtyards, and structured landscapes. Growth habit can vary among seed-grown plants and cultivars; a strictly narrow columnar form is not guaranteed unless a specific upright selection is identified.

Italian Cypress generally performs best in full sun and well-drained soil. Once established, it tolerates relatively dry conditions and is particularly suited to warm climates with good drainage. It does not perform well in persistently waterlogged soil. Its evergreen foliage provides year-round ornamental interest.
