Cupressus sempervirens ‘ Stricta ‘

Cupressus sempervirens ‘Stricta’, commonly known as the Italian Cypress, is a graceful, tall and narrow evergreen tree valued for its strong upright form. It develops a naturally slender, columnar shape, with dense branches covered in fine, dark-green foliage. The tree maintains its attractive green colour throughout the year, providing excellent structure and vertical interest in gardens and landscapes.

It is a relatively low-maintenance tree and is well suited to full-sun locations. Once established, it can tolerate periods of dry conditions, making it a good choice for warm and sunny climates. Its narrow growth habit makes it especially useful where space is limited.

‘Stricta’ looks particularly attractive when planted in rows along driveways, pathways, entrances, fences or garden boundaries. It can also be used as a specimen tree to create a strong architectural feature. The elegant, formal appearance of Italian Cypress is commonly associated with Mediterranean and European-style gardens.

The tree can eventually reach a considerable height while remaining relatively narrow, giving landscapes a dramatic vertical accent without taking up much ground space. Its evergreen foliage also provides year-round greenery and privacy, making it a popular choice for ornamental and formal landscaping.
