Cupressus sempervirens 'Totem' is more than just a plant – it's an architectural marvel in your garden. This Mediterranean native, known as the Totem Italian Cypress, grows with an inherently upward trajectory, stretching between 15 to 40 feet high while staying elegantly slim at a width of 2 to 3 feet. It beautifully redefines the notion of "reaching for the skies," encapsulating a towering presence and pronounced verticality that fills your outdoor spaces with a stunningly dramatic effect. Blanketed with a plush layer of dense, needle-like foliage that shines dark green all year long, this perennial evergreen tree exudes an aura of vigor and growth. Remarkably drought-resistant and sun-loving, the Totem Italian Cypress is low on care but high on resilience and elegance. Whether adding that irresistible vertical accent to your landscape designs, enhancing narrow spaces, or providing natural privacy screens, this hardy tree makes it supremely simple. Delight in its majestic stature and the unique, graceful flair it brings to your surroundings.
