Question: How to prune cypresses for rounded dome shape (like France/Italy)? Trees are mature; fear I started too late.
In Italy, cypress tops are cut to stimulate root growth. Remove up to ⅓ of height—tree strengthens roots and regrows vigorously. Repeat yearly to maintain shape.
Do in early spring; feed and mulch during recovery.
