Cupressus sempervirens 'Pyramidalis' Bush

Origin: Italy. Conifer with columnar, narrow, tapering and compact habit, bright green. Flowers: monoecious conifer with male and female flowers arranged in yellowish strobiles at the ends of the branchlets. Fruit: round, 2-3cm wide, shiny green at first and greyish-brown when ripe (ripening occurs every two years). Deep roots in the first years which later spread out superficially, consequently in areas where there are strong winds a sheltered position is recommended. As regards soil, there are no special requirements as it grows well in clay, calcareous, compact, poor and dry soil. Tolerant of maritime climate if protected by a screen. Its unique outline is best preserved by light but constant pruning.
