Position and care
Choose full sun and well-drained soil, ideally sheltered from cold, drying winds. Avoid persistently wet ground. Water regularly during establishment; although established plants tolerate dry conditions, newly planted trees need consistent moisture. Stake where necessary and check ties regularly. Trim lightly if needed, avoiding cuts into bare old wood.

Planting Instructions
Plant Italian Cypress in full sun with well-drained soil, preferably sheltered from cold, drying winds. Water the container before planting and set the root ball at its existing soil level. Backfill firmly and water thoroughly. Stake where necessary while establishing, checking ties regularly. Water during dry spells in the first growing seasons and avoid waterlogged conditions. If shaping is needed, trim lightly into leafy growth rather than bare old wood.
Size & Specification
Supplied as a pot-grown Italian Cypress (Cupressus sempervirens) in a 25–30-litre container. The listing title specifies 225–250cm height, while the current variant is labelled 2–2.5m tall. Confirm the current stock height before ordering if precise dimensions are important. Individual plants vary naturally in shape and spread, and this evergreen tree will continue to grow after planting.
Delivery & Dispatch
This listing uses a pre-order template. Confirm the current dispatch timeframe before ordering if delivery timing is important. Supplied pot-grown in a 25–30-litre container. On arrival, unpack carefully, check the compost and water if needed. Keep outdoors in a sheltered position and prevent the root ball from drying out until planting. Plan safe handling for this tall plant and lift by the container or root ball rather than the foliage.
Wildlife & Ecological Notes
Evergreen foliage can provide year-round shelter for garden birds and other wildlife. Italian Cypress is wind-pollinated and is not a nectar-rich flowering tree. Check dense foliage for active bird nests before trimming and leave occupied sections undisturbed.
