The Italian Cypress (also known as the
Mediterranean Cypress) is best known for its tall slender, columnar form. While this is the form that is almost always used for this tree species in gardens, parks, cemeteries and city avenues it is not its only form.
The image above is of an Italian Cypress located in the south of Spain with long, slightly upward lifted branches that give the tree quite a different form than the typical columnar from. The image below is of two Italian Cypress trees grown close together and with a tunnel like arch between them. I found these in the gardens of the Generalife that is part of the Alhambra complex in Granada, Spain.
The tree below is another common form of the Italian Cypress tree. In fact this may be pretty close to this tree species original form. This tree is located in the Montes de Malaga national park in the South of Spain.
This tree species is also used for Bonsais like the one on the image below.
