Notes
'Glauca' Italian cypress (Cupressus sempervirens 'Glauca') is a tree for borders, specimens, hedges, and privacy screens. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to moist, sandy or loamy soil. The narrow, columnar form grows at a moderate pace and reaches up to 60 feet tall. It stays evergreen, tolerates drought and salt, and gives off a pleasant fragrance.
