This is a selected variety of Cupressus sempervirens with a particularly slender growth habit. Cupressus sempervirens var. 'Stricta' is the narrowest variety of Tuscan or Italian Cypress, a very slender fastigiate dark green conifer often planted in Mediterranean landscapes. This 'Stricta' variety is a cloned plant, selected from a typical parent plant of the same type. Each plant from a batch will be uniform, in theory identical to the parent.
It differs from the species tree, Cupressus sempervirens and C. s. var. 'Totem' type, in that it does not form side branches as they do. As 'Stricta' rarely forms large side branches from the vertical main trunk, it has a much narrower canopy than the other cultivars.

We are a plant nursery in the Algarve specialising in dry mediterranean species. We propagate and grow our own stock in conditions they are likely to endure when they are planted out.
We grow plants that are adapted to the dry land conditions in Portugal and southern Spain, both mediterranean perennials and succulents.
We choose plants that require very little water and maintenance. We produce a range of dry land plants that are typical of the worlds mediterranean regions. These are available to order ready for planting in the wetter months of the year. Please order the plants you need and we’ll have them ready at the best time for planting.
To ensure your new plants adapt and establish quickly, we produce them in special anti-spiral root pruning containers and a range of fibre pots (no plastic waste) with our own tried and tested growing media.
