Planting and Care Tips
Plant
Place the Tiny Tower® Italian Cypress in well-draining soil with the root ball level to the ground, spacing about 3 feet apart for borders or narrow screens.
Feed
Apply a slow-release balanced fertilizer in early spring to promote healthy, upright growth.
Water
Water deeply once or twice a week during the first growing season, then reduce to occasional deep watering once established.
Prune
Lightly prune in late spring to maintain its slender columnar form and remove any stray or damaged branches.
Exposure
Plant in full sun, ensuring at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily for dense, even growth.
