A conifer often associated with the Tuscan countryside, Italian Cypress makes a superb evergreen feature in the garden. Also known as the Mediterranean Cypress, this stately, drought-tolerant tree has a tall columnar habit, looking fabulous planted either side of an entranceway or as an architectural focal point in the garden. Try growing Cupressus sempervirens in large patio containers or borders to bring a touch of the Mediterranean to your garden. Height after 10 years: 3m. Ultimate height in UK conditions: 12m (width 1m). Supplied at a height of 30-50cm.

Gradually acclimatise Italian Cypress trees to outdoor conditions over a period of 7 to 10 days. Plant Cupressus sempervirens in any well-drained soil in full sun, with shelter from strong winds. Incorporate plenty of compost or well-rotted manure prior to planting. Alternatively grow Cupressus sempervirens in large containers using a soil based compost such as John Innes No.3. Mediterranean Cypress is drought-tolerant once established.
Water regularly throughout the growing season until Italian Cypress trees are well established. Cupressus sempervirens does not require any pruning; this may spoil its natural shape. Apply a mulch of well rotted manure or compost around the base of the plant in spring.
