The Cupressus Sempervirens Stricta, sometimes called the Mediterranean or Tuscan Cypress, is a wonderfully architectural choice. This Italian cypress will bring a touch of the Mediterranean to your garden. These quintessential conifers exhibit a slender, upright form, creating tall, narrow columns of dense, evergreen foliage – almost like an exclamation mark.
Hardy and slow-growing, Cupressus sempervirens boasts good drought resistance and requires minimal upkeep beyond watering. Ideal for adding a formal touch and impact to planting schemes, framing entrances, or making a bold statement in borders. When planted together, they form an effective evergreen screen. Thriving in various environments, from country gardens to coastal and urban settings.
For optimal growth, ensure good soil nourishment and drainage before planting, and protect from strong, drying winds. If grown in a container, use a quality soil-based compost such as John Innes No. 3. Water regularly during the first year until established. Apply mulch at the base in spring to encourage growth.
Prefers a full sun position. Expect a height of 3m after 10 years, with an ultimate height of 12m and spread of 4m in UK conditions. Supplied in 14cm nursery pots.
