| Italian cypress side branches drooping because of watering too often |
A. I think what you mean by Cypress is Italian
cypress. The other tree which people might call Cypress would be the Arizona
Cypress which is a totally different tree. Arizona Cypress is used a lot in
drier landscapes but is prone to a lot of borer problems, die back and loss of
limbs.

Italian cypress can “droop” a lot if they are not watered
more carefully. The usual reason lower limbs drooping on Italian cypress is
because the tree is watered too often. Watering frequently produces succulent
growth that does not have the strength to remain upright.
Managing irrigations so that they are less
often, or smaller amounts more often, should slow the growth and make this
growth more erect and less “floppy”.
