Home The Italian Cypress

The Italian Cypress, also known as: Mediterranean cypress, Tuscan cypress, Persian cypress or pencil pine.

 

See below for some interesting facts….

 

  • This is not a weed
  • This is not invasive, but it is in two countries.
  • This is a tree.
  • These should be planted late winter
  • Can grow to between 25 to 35 metres
  • Can spread between 3 and 6 metres.
  • This is an evergreen tree
  • The oldest living Italian cypress is estimated to be 4000 years old.

Interesting fact: In Provence, France, cypresses were planted near farmhouses to indicate hospitality. Three trees meant a traveller was welcome to spend the night, whereas two meant only food and beverage was available. One tree would discourage anyone from stopping.

Well done on finding this tree.
