Introducing Cupressus sempervirens 'Stricta', the iconic Italian Cypress that brings a touch of Mediterranean elegance to any landscape. This evergreen conifer is celebrated for its very narrow, columnar form, reaching heights of 40-60 ft with a modest width of about 3 ft. As a classic exclamation point in gardens, this tree's ascending, fussed, and flattened branches support dark green leaves that retain their vibrant color year-round. Ideal for zones 7-9, 'Stricta' thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, and is remarkably drought-tolerant once established. Although native to Southern Europe, it finds itself comfortably at home in regions like Southern California, South Africa, and Australia. Perfect for creating dramatic accents or screens, its striking silhouette offers timeless beauty, whether gracing west coast gardens or contained within stylish planters. Admired for their historical significance or their unique shape, these elegant trees continue to enchant gardeners and landscapers alike.
