Origin
Cupressus sempervirens is native to countries around the eastern Mediterranean, including Italy, Greece, Turkey, Cyprus, and parts of the Middle East. The 'Totem' form is a modern, cultivated variety selected for its especially narrow, upright growth and dense branching. It's thought to have been developed by European nurseries, particularly in Italy or France, to meet demand for more reliably slender and symmetrical forms — ideal for formal gardens and avenues.
