Cupressus sempervirens 'Glauca' - Pencil Pine
Cupressus sempervirens 'Glauca', commonly known as Pencil Pine, is a tall, narrow evergreen tree famed for its iconic columnar shape and Mediterranean elegance. Growing 8–12 meters tall and just 1–1.5 meters wide, it offers striking vertical definition and year-round structure with a minimal footprint—perfect for formal landscapes.
Ideal for framing driveways, entrances, garden borders, or creating structured rows, Pencil Pine thrives in full sun, tolerates drought once established, and adapts well to various soil types. Its dense, fine blue-green foliage creates clean lines and a symmetrical form that bring sophistication to any outdoor space.
Low-maintenance and resilient, this tree looks excellent when used to add timeless elegance and height without overwhelming your garden, making it a classic choice for Mediterranean or classical designs.
