Cupressus

(Italian Cypress) Sempervirens Totem

The Cupressus Sempervirens Totem is a slim, column-shaped Italian cypress with dense, dark green foliage that stays fresh all year round. It reaches about 500 cm in height and only 50-70 cm in width at maturity, so it fits where other conifers would take over. Plant 1-2 per square meter as a solitary accent, or 2-3 per running meter for a narrow, elegant privacy screen. It brings a Mediterranean look to patios, entrances and gardens, and also works well in large containers.

Plant the Cupressus in a sunny, sheltered position for the densest growth. It prefers well-draining soil and does not tolerate permanently wet roots. Water regularly in the first years and during extended dry spells, and remember that plants in pots dry out much faster. Trim lightly in spring or late summer to keep the column tidy, and never cut back into old bare wood as it will not regrow. This cypress is hardy, but in a pot you should protect the roots from hard frost with a wrap or a sheltered spot.
