Olive & Palm Mountain

Italian Cyprus Big

The Italian Cypress is the quintessential architectural evergreen, famous for its narrow, fastigiate, and perfectly columnar habit. This large specimen serves as a stunning vertical accent, bringing an immediate sense of Mediterranean grandeur and formality to any landscape. Whether used as a dramatic singular focal point or planted in a rhythmic row to frame a driveway or path, its deep, dark green foliage provides a clean, sophisticated structure that remains elegant all year round.

Size (H × W)

270 x 30 cm

Sunlight

Full Sun. It requires a bright, sunny position to maintain its dense, narrow habit. If planted in too much shade, the tree may become sparse or lose its striking, columnar form.

Watering

Moderate. Once established, it is relatively drought-tolerant, but it needs regular watering during the first couple of years while the root system settles. Provide deep, thorough soakings during prolonged dry spells in the summer to keep the foliage lush and vibrant.

Soil & Drainage

Highly adaptable to most soil types, including chalky or sandy soils, provided there is excellent drainage. It absolutely detests sitting in waterlogged ground, especially during the winter. If your soil is heavy clay, incorporate plenty of horticultural grit at planting time to ensure moisture moves away from the roots.
