| EVERGREEN PREMIER SELECTION
Cupressus sempervirens 'Stricta'
A very tall, slender columnar cypress with a deep dark green color giving this particular cypress a very "elegant" look. We have chosen the 'Stricta' variety of Italian Cypress for its extremely tall, narrow growth habit, as well as for its increased cold hardiness when compared to many other strains of Italian Cypress. Widely used in landscapes with Mediterranean themes, and commonly seen growing in wild, native stands in Italy. Dark, deep green color has just a hint of blue to it. By far, one of our most popular plants. Excellent for lining driveways, planting up against buildings, around entrances......just about anywhere you want to give an elegant, distinguished look.
