Cupressus sempervirens ‘Totem’: characteristics and care
Cupressus sempervirens ‘Totem’, popularly known as the Totem cypress, is a selected variety of the Mediterranean cypress characterized by an even narrower, more compact, and uniform habit than the species type, featuring dense, dark green foliage and very orderly growth.
Its extremely vertical silhouette and narrow diameter make it an ideal choice for formal rows, entrances, and confined spaces where height is desired without taking up much width.
Once established, it tolerates drought, heat, and poor, calcareous soils very well, provided it has good drainage.
At Ornacom, we carefully select each plant for balanced growth, good structure and vigorous development.
