After successful cultivation, you can easily plant your small tree in a new container, or directly into the ground, without repotting, using the compostable pot. The pot will then decompose naturally in approximately 12-24 months, leaving no residue in the soil. Your plant can then develop its roots undisturbed and establish itself firmly in the ground.

The tree planting kit consists of valuable forest seeds, a compostable planting pot produced on site, Terra Preta soil and a hemp fiber mat.

Interesting facts about the Mediterranean cypress

- elegant and columnar shape
- faster growth
- evergreen

No other tree is as characteristic of Mediterranean regions as the Mediterranean cypress. It is an integral part of the typical landscape, especially in Tuscany.

The cypress is fast-growing – growth of approximately 4 to 6 meters within 10 years is possible. It is particularly important to protect young cypress trees adequately from frost. Older specimens are more resistant to cold and can tolerate even lower sub-zero temperatures.

The best location is partially shaded with medium soil moisture. The trunk produces many branches and leads to dense leaf growth.

The cypress tree is often found near places of worship and cemeteries and represents mourning, but also hope and the eternal cycle of life .

Please note: Plants are unique and may develop differently in appearance, color, shape, and size compared to our descriptions and images. External factors such as soil type, climate, humidity, air supply, and temperature can significantly affect plant development.
Some tree varieties are genetically predisposed to germination taking up to five months - in these cases it is particularly important to keep the soil consistently moist and to be patient.
