Description

Evocative of the Tuscan countryside but hardy in the UK to -20C, Italian Cypress trees make a wonderful architectural statement. These narrow, columnar evergreen trees have erect branches and retain their pencil thin form throughout life. Whilst they can grow to 15 metres in height, they are easy to keep trimmed to the required height.

Commonly known as Tuscan or Italian Cypress, Cupressus sempervirens 'Pyramidalis’ requires full sun, as you would expect from a tree with Italian origins! It is drought tolerant once established, but will need plenty of water until then.

'Pyramidalis' conifers look great all year round when planted in pairs outside front entrances, in rows within formal gardens, as a singular focal point or in containers.

Planting Steps

1Preparation

Pot-grown plants can be planted at any time of year, whereas bare roots need to be planted between November and March.
Clear weeds and grass within a metre of the planting hole.
Dig a hole as deep as the root mass and twice as wide.
To help your plant establish more effectively, sprinkle Rootgrow in the hole.

2Planting

Gently loosen the roots and place into the planting hole.
Ensure the top of the plant's compost is flush with the level of the surrounding soil and the graft union or collar of the tree is above ground level.
Mix 50% of the original soil with 50% compost.
Fill in the hole, firming the soil gently.

3Last Steps

Water generously around the base of the plant.
If you are planting either a single stem tree or mature standard tree, we recommend adding a staking kit and rabbit guard.

Aftercare Advice

Trees and shrubs require a good watering regime for a couple of years whilst they establish. Water well and regularly through spring and summer, increasing in hot or dry weather. If planting in autumn, you may only need to water a little. It is advisable to keep the area free of competing weeds and grass during this period.
