Italian Cypress Tree - Cupressus Sempervirens | Akplants

Timeless Mediterranean Elegance

The Italian Cypress (Cupressus sempervirens) brings the romance of Tuscan landscapes to your garden. This striking evergreen creates dramatic vertical accents with its slender, columnar form—reaching 40-60 feet tall while staying remarkably narrow at just 3 feet wide.

Why Choose Italian Cypress?

• Architectural Beauty: Strictly upright growth creates stunning focal points and formal garden structure
• Low Maintenance: Drought-tolerant once established, thrives in UK conditions
• Year-Round Interest: Dense gray-green foliage from ground to crown provides evergreen screening
• Heritage Variety: Celebrated in classical Greco-Roman gardens for centuries
• Multi-Purpose: Ornamental value plus fragrant, durable wood that naturally repels moths

Perfect For
