Italian Cypress 9.9 Gallon / 37.7 Liter

A mature Italian Cypress (Cupressus sempervirens 'Glauca') grown in a #15 container (9.9-gallon / 37.7-liter pot), ready for immediate planting in your landscape. This classic evergreen tree features a tall, narrow columnar silhouette and lush dark blue-green foliage that remains vibrant year-round, bringing a timeless Mediterranean elegance to any outdoor space.

Italian Cypress grows at a moderate to fast rate of 1–3 feet per year and reaches a mature height of 40–70 feet while maintaining a slender width of just 3–10 feet. Its space-saving columnar form makes it an ideal choice for planting in tight areas, along driveways, beside entryways, or in rows spaced 3–5 feet apart to create a striking privacy screen or effective windbreak. The large #15 container size means the tree arrives well-established with a developed root system, promoting faster establishment and reducing transplant shock.

Once established, Italian Cypress is highly drought tolerant and thrives in full sun with at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily. It adapts to a variety of well-draining soil types and is suited for USDA Hardiness Zones 7–11. Minimal pruning is required as the tree naturally maintains its upright columnar form throughout its lifetime. Fertilize once annually in spring with a balanced slow-release fertilizer to support healthy growth.
