In its native habitat, it typically grows in a spreading, open-horizontal form. Cupressus sempervirens stricta is of the familiar narrow-columnar or fastigiate form that typically grows 40 to 60 feet tall. This columnar/fastigiate form is unknown to the wild but was the tree originally described by Linneaus as Cupressus sempervirens and is the cypress of classical literature that has been commonly planted in Italian classic gardens since Renaissance times. This columnar/fastigiate form features scale-like dark gray-green leaves on upright branches. Foliage is aromatic when crushed. Italian Cypress is very long-lived, with some trees reported to be over 1,000 years old.
