Italian Cypress
A narrow, upright accent tree, not a solid privacy wall. Italian Cypress is used to frame an entry, mark a property line, or add a tall, formal, Mediterranean silhouette to a landscape. If you want continuous wall-to-wall privacy, pair it with one of our hedge varieties instead, or ask us about mixing accents into a curated landscape look.

Why Italian Cypress?
Italian Cypress isn't a solid-wall plant, it's a vertical accent used to frame an entry, mark a property line, or add a formal, Mediterranean silhouette to a landscape. It's fast-growing and genuinely drought-tolerant once established, which makes it a low-water option for a high-impact look.

Planting & Spacing Guide
Spacing depends on the look you want. For a dense, screen-like row, plant 3 to 4 feet apart, center to center. For individual entry or accent placement, space them further apart to let each tree stand on its own. Italian Cypress is a fast grower, expect up to 3 feet of new growth per year once established.

See Wholesale PricingFrequently Asked Questions
Is Italian Cypress a privacy hedge?
Not on its own. It's a narrow, vertical accent tree, best used to frame an entry or mark a property line rather than form a solid privacy wall. Pair it with one of our hedge varieties if you want full screening plus a vertical accent.
How tall does Italian Cypress get?
Commonly maintained at 20 to 40 feet or more depending on how it's used, significantly taller than our hedge varieties, since it grows as a narrow column rather than a wide hedge.
How fast does it grow?
It's one of our faster-growing trees, expect up to 3 feet of growth per year once established.
Is Italian Cypress drought-tolerant?
Yes, genuinely so once established. It needs regular watering during the first several weeks after planting, but tapers to a low-water tree after that.
Do you deliver and plant, or just deliver?
