Thank you for the video, sharing how to grow Italian cypress seeds. It is very useful 🙏 Today is the day to start my experiment in Chiang Mai, Thailand. 🇹🇭 I hope it will be as successful as in your video😊
Nice one! 😀 I wish you all the luck of the world my friend! I'm curious to see its progress, if you want, post in the FB group here -> facebook.com/HowtoGrowfromSeeds 🙌 Well done!
@@howtogrowfromseed Finally out of 20 odd seeds 1 have sprouted !! I have planted that in the small pot! I stay in India, Pune. The temperature is 25 to 35C
Got a few cones when I was in central Italy this spring and now I have about 20 healthy tiny cypresses growing! It's a nice and easy tree to grow. Would you mind considering making tutorials on how to grow Lindens (tiglio) and Plane (platanus acerifolia) trees from seed? They are common species in many urban areas and I'd like to include them in my tiny reforestation madness but cannot find good tutorials about them 🙂. I hope these videos will inspire people to grow, grow and grow and perhaps give back to mother earth some of what we are taking from her! Keep up the great work! 🙂

Thank you so much for explaining g it so well. Your method is so easy. I was watching other videos and they say you have to put the seeds in the fridge. I will try your method abd will see hot it goes. 😊
@@howtogrowfromseed Aww, Thank you ❣️I did prepare them and place them in the refrigerator 🌼🌱. I have 100 seeds so I'm excited! Thank you again for the encouragement 😊
@@jaypee7632unfortunately they didn't come up but this was my first year trying out growing flowers, a garden and trees, lol . I think I may have overdone it ...
@@howtogrowfromseed I think the cone I used was a bit too old, only two of the 50ish seeds seem to be doing anything. But one of them looks so healthy and big I'll plant it today. :)
Sorry to hear! They are usually quite resilient, but they can feel the trauma of a moving to a different area. They grow quite quickly btw, in 2/3 years you’ll have a decent tree for free 😀 good luck and let me know of any issues..
They suffer temperature above 35 Celsius to be honest. But some of them still manage to deal with some heatwaves. I would suggest to refresh them with some water along the day if it is too dry and hot. High humidity helps.
Thanks buddy! It depends from the season in which you sow them. If in summer proabbly yes, you'll need to water every day almost. The rule is simple, if the dirt is dry you put water, if the water is still humid you don't add water. You need to avoid root rot.
Hi ,tx for the video.After putting in pot should I keep it indoor or outdoor? And which temperature is good for the plant.Also do they need direct sun light? Thanks again.
Hello, once they become one year old, they are quite strong. You can easily have them outdoors. Of course, this is if your winters and summers are not too warm or too old.
Hi, we went to Tuscany early July '24 , and we brought some cones home to Portugal. I tried your bag trick, but half didn't germinated and the other half molded 😢 At that time it was about 42°C outside, and 38°C inside 🥵 Maybe to hot to sprout? Now it's early September and around 30°C during the day outside and 26°C inside. Now I soaked some seeds, and try the bag trick again in the fridge.... a trick i saw on an other channel. Although if you have some more advice, always welcome. We really want to plant cypress around our land due to wildfire. I read an article that they are a great firewall 🤞🤞🤞 thx again 😉
It was definitely too hot to handle for the seedling. They will sprout in spring or autumn at lower temperatures as well (25 Celsius ish). the best period to sprout them is definitely April/May in Portugal.
@@howtogrowfromseed thx.... I was kinda desperate... Did you see the wildfires going on now in Portugal... I really hope that that article i read about the Italian cypress tree to be great as firewall is true 🙏
@@carolemattina9869 yes, it is a huge pity. Although, even though cypress don’t get on fire so easily, they cannot do miracles. If a strong fire comes in with wind there is not much they can do unfortunately 😔
@@howtogrowfromseed yeah but we would be happy if it's slows it down....so we have time to escape or for the firefighters to have more time to control it 🙏
Any tips for trying to grow these in a 72 cell tray? I feel like i need to keep the substrate moist to have them survive. Should I prune the long tap root the comes through the drain hole?
I would say that for the first and second month that is fine, but afterward the tree will need a bigger space. Don't cat the long root as it is th emain root of the tree.
@@howtogrowfromseed interesting, that would match what my cousin in Greece said about the roots going very deep. He said the roots tend to go as high as the tree.
Hello…thank you for the video! I have seeds that sprouted in my paper towel and some that did not. Can you plant the seeds that did not sprout? Or do you put them back in the paper towel for a longer period?
Hello Jean, this happens often, put the seeds that didn't sprout back in the paper with some more water and check again in a couple of weeks. Better not to waste compost and pots for some seeds that will probably never sprout 😊
Yes you can. They actually need to be kept at a temperature between 20 and no more than 30 Celsius to sprout! If it is too cold they won’t sprout 🌱🙌🏼 If it too warm they will dry up. Let me know how it goes..
For any conifer tree you can use this one COMPO Conifer Fertilizer with Guano, for pines, fir and evergreens, 1 kg amzn.eu/d/hdcaRG8 But only if the tree is at least 2/3 years old 😊
It is in the description of the video. Anyways I’ll paste it here as well 👍🏻 good luck 🤞🏼 www.amazon.co.uk/100-Italian-Cypress-Seeds-Mediterranean/dp/B01EZ75NGE/ref=sr_1_4?crid=AXRT43S6U5FL&keywords=italian+cypress+seeds&qid=1648308899&sprefix=italian+cypress+seeds%2Caps%2C97&sr=8-4
Great video. I've got plenty of seeds from two cones from Türkye and I want to give them a try. My question is how this tree species deal with a cold and temperatures below zero? I'm from the Czech Republic and winters in here are not quite the same like those in the Mediterran area. Ciao!
Amazing news! Everyone should grow some Cypresses 😆Great question my friend. I should have covered this as well in the video. I will publish soon an update of my Italian Cypresses Growing after 2 years. The answer is simple, for the first two years it is better to have the tree in a pot and bring it inside when temperatures get under 5 degrees Celsius. I keep the young ones inside from November to April, but I'm in the UK, my climate is slightly warmer than your. Not too much warmer though 😃
Very informative vedio. Thank you. This tree is common in my area, but it has two different shapes: the first one is the familiar columnar shape of the Italian cypress. The other one is a pyramidal-stepped form, much more like a siberian fir tree. So would a seedling grown from a seed be identical in it's general shape to the mother or not?
Hello and thank you Mohamed. Generally seeds have a different genetic from the mother tree. However, confinerus trees like the Cypress don't really have marked difference from each generation how it would be for an avocado tree for example. In conclusion, yes, on aesthetic appearence the seed tree would be very similar to its mother tree, but technically it won't. I hope this answer your query.👍
If you just sow them, keep them inside for a few weeks as the strong sun may dry them out. If outdoor is fresh and humid keep them outdoor. Good luck 👍
Hi, Thank you for the video. I have 2 questions, where do I get the seeds from and can I stop it from growing to it's full potential, I have a two story house I don't want it to take over the house size.
If you cannot find the cone easily, than I would suggest to buy them from Amazon or any other retailer. I have left a link in the description from which you can buy them. About them growing tall, I would suggest to cut them on the top when they reach the desired height using a ladder. I hope this helped 😊
My son gathered me some seeds from some Italian cypress, and I’m pretty sure they overwintered (I am in Oregon so they got below freezing at times). Can I use this process or do I need a stratified them first? Where do I store the pots after they sprout? Can they be in full sun or do they need to be in the shade??
In summer once every two three days and in winter once per week. But of course if you have them outside this might change. Generally also it will depend from the humidity, if it is very humid where you keep them you’ll need to water them less frequent. I hope this helps 😊
Greetings Sir. I'm living in the tropics and I've managed to germinate the seeds. Can I plant them in a pot and keep it indoors expecting it to grow or do I need to to keep it in the refrigerator where it germinated? Please let me know😊
When touching the seedlings every time is it harmful for them and can u give me more tips how I can take care of the seedlings because you’re an expert❤❤❤
Hi Ali! It takes three years and half to get to one metre, but please consider that even seeds from the same cones sometime grow at a different pace! I suggest you to grow several at the same time! For trimming, it is as simple as you cut it the shape and size you want it! You can start trimming it after the tree is at least 5/6 years old. I trim only the ones that are 10 years old and are at the fence with my neighbours. I hope this helps.
Too bad I can't get the seeds now. I would like to know if you have ever tried growing them in an air pruner pot. They say things grow much bigger and faster. I can't say, I just got some to try out. Let me know if you can locate some seeds for me, I'm in Canada. Thanks.
Not saying that grabbing the dried ones it’s better but I grabbed a green one while I was in Italy and ripped it open after a day or so and then grew them. About 85% germinated
Sure, that can happen if the seed has reached its maturation. The point there is that you play with the dice 😀 With a dried one you are "sure" and the probability is much higher 😄
Can I plant the sprouts in the ground right away or do I have to wait in pots until they grow? And another question: If you wait 10 months in pots, what month is it good to plant small trees in the ground?
You can, but in the ground the sprouts are subject to fall into snails and slugs bellies. I would wait at least 3 months before to put them in the ground so the leaves are strong enough not to be liked by the snails.
I have 4 on my balcony and I want to plant a bunch of them to boost a future forest, but I don't know what would be the best way to plant them.. can I just directly plant them from seeds to the ground? I don't know what chances will they have without regular watering
I would suggest to put them in the ground after they are at least 1 year old. The chance you have for them to grow directly from seed in the ground is the lowest. The best way is to sow them in pots first.
Hi I was wondering why are my Italian cypresses sprouts are dying They went through stratification and I put them in a what’s paper towel in the fridge? they grew up there just fine and then when I put them in soil they die so can you give me tips what to do? Also, the temperature is 21 Celsius. and approximately. Five hour indirect sunlight
@@Shapeshifter-d9s If there is fertilizer in the soil, that is an issue, for the first 2/3 years the tree doesn't like fertilizer. Also, they like high humidity.
I thought it was necessary put in the freezer to germinate. But you just put outside. I can germinate the seeds in the warm weather ? I take the seeds in Portugal Please help me 🙏
Origins of this tree Taurus Mountains in Turkey . It s called Mediterrenean cypress or Black cypress in many languages .It s called Italian because italians brought to Europe .
Cupressus Semprevirens ('Tuscan'. cypress) is not native to Italy or any of the Western or Southern Mediterranean countries. It is native to West Asia/ Middle East ie. Persia, Syria, Iraq and the Eastern Mediterranean coastline of West Asia/Middle East, ie. Syria, Lebanon and Israel. The species was first identified in a cultural context in Persia, where it was documented in the Zoroastrian religion.

So sorry to hear my friend. That is strange indeed, in what type of soil did you sow them and how often did you water them?
I water them every time I see the soil dries out and also the type of soil is a natural fertilizer.
And the sprouts how long should I put them in sunlight?
@@Shapeshifter-d9s If there is fertilizer in the soil, that is an issue, for the first 2/3 years the tree doesn't like fertilizer. Also, they like high humidity.
@@Shapeshifter-d9s as much the sun is out. They don't like to be moved much.
I put seed in the small pot with good dirt, but after 3 months nothing is growing, watering and nothing.
Can you sugets some thing else?
Have you also tried the kitchen paper method as in the video?
Also, the sprouts have to leaves 🍁
Have two leaves you mean? That would ben ormal, see the video zoom.
I thought it was necessary put in the freezer to germinate. But you just put outside. I can germinate the seeds in the warm weather ? I take the seeds in Portugal
Please help me 🙏
Yes, you can 😊 They don't need cold stratification.
Uspela ti samo jedna saksija?🤭
No, I sow multiple seeds, not only one. 👍

Sure, @howtogrowfromseed
Cupressus Semprevirens ('Tuscan'. cypress) is not native to Italy or any of the Western or Southern Mediterranean countries. It is native to West Asia/ Middle East ie. Persia, Syria, Iraq and the Eastern Mediterranean coastline of West Asia/Middle East, ie. Syria, Lebanon and Israel. The species was first identified in a cultural context in Persia, where it was documented in the Zoroastrian religion.
Many thanks for the heads-up F. Any link to some credible resource to substantiate?
