Cupressus sempervirens ‘Glauca’ Italian Pencil Pine

Cupressus sempervirens
Description: Iconic narrow columnar evergreen with silvery-blue foliage and strong vertical presence, widely used as an architectural accent, formal avenue tree or screen in Mediterranean-style landscapes. Slow to moderate growing and highly effective where height and minimal spread are required. Offers year-round structure and low maintenance once established.

Specifications

Mature height 4–7 m (varies by form); spread 3–6 m; deciduous; moderate growth; summer flowering.

Position

Full sun required for best flowering; sheltered from late frost advisable.

Soil

Prefers well-drained, fertile soils; tolerates a range of pH levels and urban conditions.

Pruning

Prune in late winter to remove suckers and shape; light deadheading after flowering encourages tidiness; avoid “topping”—use selective thinning instead.
