Cupressus sempervirens Compacta is a stately, slow-growing evergreen characterized by its tight, columnar growth habit and dense, deep blue-green foliage. This dwarf variety offers the classic Mediterranean elegance of the Italian cypress but in a more manageable size, typically reaching eight to ten feet. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, showing excellent drought tolerance once established. Perfect for narrow screens, formal entryways, or as a vertical accent in small gardens.
