Product Details
Overview & Specifications
Mediterranean Cypress - Cupressus sempervirens 'Glauca'
Few trees command a landscape with the authority of Cupressus sempervirens 'Glauca'. Its strict columnar form and blue-green evergreen foliage deliver architectural precision that reads equally well in formal estate settings and contemporary high-density projects. Advanced specimens produce immediate vertical impact, no establishment period required.
Why Mediterranean Cypress
Columnar Discipline: A naturally tight, upright habit reaching 10–20m in height with a spread of just 1–2m, requiring no shaping to maintain its form.
Exceptional Drought Tolerance: Deep-rooted and adapted to hot, dry climates; well-suited to Australian conditions with minimal ongoing intervention once established.
Evergreen Structure: Retains its distinctive blue-green foliage year-round, providing consistent visual weight in the landscape across all seasons.
Longevity: A multi-century lifespan makes this a genuine long-term asset on any property, not a short-term planting solution.
Screening Without Mass: Achieves effective wind, noise, and sightline screening without the lateral footprint of broadform hedging species.
Ideal Applications
Estate Driveway Lining: Planted in formal rows, advanced specimens establish the grand, processional character associated with prestige rural and residential properties.
Boundary Screening: Narrow form makes it the preferred choice where screening depth is limited but height and density are non-negotiable.
Architectural Focal Points: Deployed as solitary sentinels or paired specimens to anchor entrances, courtyards, and formal axes.
Coastal and Exposed Sites: Wind-hardy and salt-tolerant; performs reliably in conditions that compromise less robust species.
Specimen & Installation
Spacing (screening/hedge): 1.5–2m
Spacing (feature/avenue): 4–6m
Planting Season: Autumn to spring, avoiding the hottest summer months
Soil & Drainage: Well-drained to moderately fertile soils; tolerates alkaline, sandy, or clay soils once established; drought tolerant
Establishment Care: Water deeply once or twice weekly for the first two years until established, then reduce to supplemental watering during prolonged dry periods. Apply a layer of mulch around the base to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds, keeping it clear of the trunk.
