50 Seeds Italian Cypress Cupressus sempervirens Evergreen Privacy Screen Tree

Italian Cypress (Cupressus sempervirens) is a classic evergreen conifer prized for its tall, narrow, columnar form and dense dark green foliage. It brings a strong architectural vertical accent to gardens, borders, driveways, and container plantings, and is widely grown for its tidy, upright silhouette.
This versatile tree works well as a formal accent, a tall hedge, a privacy screen, or a pair flanking an entryway. It grows at a moderate rate and keeps its narrow shape with little effort, making it a popular choice for Mediterranean-style and contemporary landscapes. Its fine-textured evergreen foliage provides year-round structure and color.
