Bring classic Mediterranean structure and year-round elegance to your UK garden with our 120-150cm Italian Cypress Pyramidalis – the iconic narrow, pencil-shaped evergreen topiary plant perfect for formal borders, driveway framing, patios and tight spaces. Known as Cupressus sempervirens 'Pyramidalis' or Tuscan Cypress, this columnar conifer offers dense, rich dark-green foliage and striking vertical accent without spreading wide – ideal for smaller British gardens, urban courtyards or contemporary designs.
Supplied in strong 10L pots at a mature 120-150cm height, these pot-grown specimens deliver immediate visual impact. Plant them 60-90cm apart for a tall, formal screen or use singly as dramatic focal points beside entrances or gates. More refined and lower-maintenance than broader evergreens like our Cherry Laurel hedging plants UK, Italian Cypress thrives across most UK regions and complements palms or olives from our plants-and-trees collection perfectly.
