Product Description
Treat yourself to a pair of these gorgeous Italian Cypress trees, and add a touch of Mediterranean class to your garden. Seen all over Italy, these spectacular architectural conifers will add height and year-round interest wherever you plant them. With their elegant, pencil thin form, they’ll look simply stunning framing a door or gateway, or in a terracotta pot.
Not to be confused with vigorous Leylandii, these slender, manageable beauties are slower growing and wont get out of hand - you can even grow them on your patio! They are of course very drought tolerant, but also completely hardy and evergreen, so they’ll thrive here in the UK and look magnificent all year round whatever the weather! For best results, remove the cones that appear, as these can pull the branches apart, losing shape.
Supplied as a pair of established trees approx. 1.2-1.4m tall in 20cm pots, ready to plant out, reaching a height of 10 m (33 ft) and width of 1.5 m (5 ft) in 20 years.
Note - image of plants in courtyard are about 10 years old - plants supplied are thinner when immature, as per other images shown

Plant Information
Top Tips
- For best shape, remove any fircones that form, and keep supported for 2 years until established
Care Guide
- Plant your cypress trees where they can get full sun and in well-drained soil. If using a container, a soil based potting compost is ideal.
- Dig a planting hole larger than the root ball of the cypress tree and add organic matter into the hole. We recommend the use of mycorrhizal fungi when planting to help the roots develop.
- Place the tree into the hole and backfill, ensuring that the stem is at the same level as when it was in the pot.
- Press the soil firmly around the base of the tree’s trunk.
- Water thoroughly. You need to water the tree regularly for the first two growing seasons. Once established, this tree is drought tolerant. Container plants will need regular watering.
- After first planting, mulch with 2-3 inches of organic matter to retain moisture in the soil and prevent competition from weeds.
- Check for any damaged or dead growth and prune out as necessary. New growth will soon fill the gap.
- Trim lightly several times a year to create the densest foliage and the neatest shape.

The product was of good quality with the two trees packed well and looking healthy and strong. I would certainly use this company again. Less good was the delivery service. We had no notification of the product arrival and, despite the advertised promise, the package was jjust ?dumped? against our front door. The side gate was open and the trees could quite easily have been stored in the side passage rather than being left basically open to the street. My neighbour spotted them and moved them to a safe place.
Product:
Good, healthy looking plants in two pots. Pots were cracked but we quickly transplanted the trees and they seem to be strong and of good quality.

Please don?t advertise to contact you via email or telephone if you don?t honor specific delivery instructions. I asked for the item to be left with neighbours NOT TO GE LEFT ON DOORSTEP AS IT COULD BE STOLEN.
1. You posted the item out despite specifically asking YOU NOT TO SEND BEFORE THE GIVEN DATE.
2. delivery label stated clearly not to be left on my doorstep yet that?s exactly what happened. I THINK maybe CHANGE delivery service as you will loose custom if item go missing and you have to replace them.
Despite this hiccup. The plants arrived in excellent condition. Thank you.

Nice trees. Arrived in great condition despite a nightmare ordering and delivery service.

Value for money and hope the plant (italian tuscan cypress) do well in my garden. Would be nice if i get instruction on the final growth of the roots system if it will be evasive to crack the patio floor in 5-10 years time if planted on ground resident area small garden.

I have placed a few orders for trees and hanging baskets so far. The hanging baskets have been made of heavy duty plastic plastic that will last for many years. The two lots of shrubs arrived very quickly and healthy and were as described in their catalogue.
Highly recommended.

Slightly smaller than they looked on television but think they have already grown in this weather.
