European Cypress Christmas Tree

This handsome European cypress (Cupressus sempervirens) is a native in southern Europe and western Asia. His columnar form reaches to the sky in his native land to 40-60′ feet. His stately elegant and narrow appearance makes it a beloved garden punctuation point in classical Italian gardens during the Renaissance. When crushed, the dark grayish-green foliage has an aromatic fragrance, making it an excellent holiday accent indoors or outside in zones 7-10. He grows to 15 ft. tall and 5 ft. wide at maturity outdoors.
