Cupressus sempervirens / Italian Cypress

This architectural, evergreen tree is known for its narrow, columnar shape, making it a striking exclamation point in any landscape. Its upright branches are covered with dense, dark green to bluish, scale-like leaves held in short, flat sprays. The Italian Cypress is highly valued for its ability to create dramatic vertical accents and is often used in formal gardens, as well as for privacy screens and windbreaks.
