Italian Cypress Tree 'Totem Pole'

If you've ever travelled around the Mediterranean, you will have seen Italian Cypress Trees dotted on hills and in formal gardens, particularly in the south or Italy. Instantly recognisable for a tall, slender form, they're breathtaking, wonderfully elegant, and even supplied here as a big and established statement tree, more than 1m tall!

'Totem Pole' is a naturally narrow variety with dense growth, emerging arrow-straight. These trees are completely hardy in the UK and evergreen, so look magnificent through the year. Preferring a sunny location and well-drained soil, they’re drought tolerant and very easy to look after, even growing reasonably quickly.

Although the branches of this Cupressus semperviren grow vertically without training, it will benefit from regular clipping, in the same way as most other conifers do. The more it is clipped, the tighter and denser it will become. This also reduces the risk of any branches falling out of shape, especially under a winter flurry of snow. Any branches that do bend can be pruned out or tied back into position.

Italian Cypress Trees bring a classic Mediterranean look to the garden, spectacular in groups and borders, adding height without taking up too much growing space, and they thrive in large pots on a terrace or either side of a door or gate. This graceful beauty always draws admiring glances, only getting better with age!

Supplied as an established tree, 125-150cm tall in a 10L pot, ready to plant.
