• The Blue Italian Cypress grows and thrives in acidic, well-drained soil with full sun. The Mediterranean cypress can tolerate a wide range of soil types. Newly planted cypress can benefit from adding a slow release fertilizer to the planted tree once a year. Although it is drought tolerant once established, be sure to water your fast growing tree thoroughly during the first few years to establish a strong root system. The tree may lose its green color if it is not being watered properly. The needles will turn brown until healthy again. Italian cypress roots travel deep into the ground so choose your planting spot with care. Make sure soil is well draining – this tree does not like wet soils and may be susceptible to root rot. To properly care for Italian cypress, it is a good idea to pick a proper planting site and soil that retains moisture.
