Description
Italian Cypress 15-gal
Habit: The Italian cypress is an evergreen tree that can grow up to 115ft tall and 10ft wide! However, the tree usually averages 50 feet in height and 3 feet in width. The Italian cypress has a dense columnar crown and is symmetrical in shape.
Leaves: The Italian cypress has tiny scale-like leaves that are often dark green in color. The leaves follow a whorled arrangement and they are simple and entire.
Twigs and Bark: As a young tree, the Italian cypress has thin gray bark, which later becomes furrowed and brown-grey in color at maturity. The Italian cypress also has thin brown-grey twigs that do not droop and are not very showy.
Seed Cones: The cones of the Italian Cypress are ovoid or oblong in shape and average at about 1 inch in length. The species also happens to be monoecious, meaning that male and female cones are produced on the same plant.
