Italian Cypress is often associated with Italian and Spanish architecture, providing columns in the landscape. They often reach 60' tall. 'Stricta' is compact, columnar and produces long, straight branches with deep green foliage.

Very narrow, columnar tree, although tends to be wider here in NW. Nice evergreen vertical accent.
