Italian cypress

A cypress characterized by the columnar, dense, and full shape of the canopy. It is considered a relatively narrow cypress among the variety of cypresses growing in our country. In this context we would like to mention that this breed originates in Italy and acclimatized very successfully in Israel. The leaves are scale-like and typical for cypresses. The foliage differs form other cypress variety with its green to dark, rich blue shades. The foliage is fragrant when crushed as typical for cypresses. The fruit of the tree is a small, closed cone, however, the variety is considered to have relatively few fruits. It is ideal as privacy screen, separation and as fence and of course as focal point and addition to any garden or park. It is one of the most popular cypress varieties in the world, and rightfully so.
