| 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 chose the 'Stricta' variety of Italian Cypress for its exceptionally tall, slender growth habit, as well as for its increased cold hardiness when compared with most other strains of Italian Cypress. 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. Commonly seen growing in wild stands in Italy, and widely used in landscapes with Mediterranean themes.
