Back to buying optionsItalian Cypress Tree – Cupressus sempervirens – Live Evergreen Tree in 2.5 Quart Nursery Pot
Add a classic Mediterranean look to your landscape with the Italian Cypress (Cupressus sempervirens). Known for its tall, narrow, columnar shape and dense blue-green foliage, this elegant evergreen tree is perfect for creating privacy screens, lining driveways, defining garden borders, or adding vertical interest to outdoor spaces. Its aromatic foliage and naturally upright growth make it a popular ornamental tree. Italian Cypress can also be grown in a large container with regular pruning to help manage its size.
