Pruning: While the Italian Cypress is generally low-maintenance, occasional pruning can help maintain its elegant shape and remove any dead or unhealthy branches. Pruning is best done during the dormant season in late winter or early spring.

Fertilization: Fertilize the Italian Cypress in early spring with a balanced fertilizer formulated for trees and shrubs. Follow the instructions on the fertilizer packaging for the appropriate application rates. Fertilization helps provide essential nutrients for healthy growth and vibrant foliage.

Winter Protection: Italian Cypress is generally hardy and can withstand cold temperatures. However, young trees may benefit from mulching around the base to protect their roots during harsh winter conditions.

When planting the Italian Cypress, choose a location with full sun exposure and well-draining soil. Dig a hole that is twice as large as the root ball of the tree. Place the tree in the hole, ensuring that it is planted at the same depth as it was in the nursery container. Backfill the hole with soil, tamping it down gently to eliminate air pockets. Water thoroughly after planting to help the tree establish strong roots.

The Italian Cypress prefers full sun exposure, thriving in bright, direct sunlight. Ensure the tree receives at least 6 to 8 hours of sunlight daily to promote healthy growth and maintain its characteristic dense foliage. As for watering, the tree is drought-tolerant once established. Water deeply and infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.
