    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Is a small growing (10’) Italian cypress. We have had a plant for years and it's only 3-4’ tall. The medium green needles make a pretty exclamation point for the full sun garden.

    By: Gossler Farms

    Obsessively upright, pencil-thin Italian cypress used for an exclamation point in the garden. Smaller in all respects than the species; to 15 ft tall or so by 1 ft wide. Full sun, well-drained soil, and very little summer water. Cold hardy to USDA zone 7.
