Italian Cypress

I am looking for a couple of Italian Cypress for my garden and it appears that the correct name for them is Cupressus Sempervirens. I was looking in a local garden centre earlier and they have some great examples at a decent price labelled as Mediterranean cypress 'Cupr Semper Pyramid'.

Are these the same thing?

    Probably.  The RHS lsits Pyrmaidalis as a synonym - https://www.rhs.org.uk/Plants/133025/i-Cupressus-sempervirens-i-Stricta-Group/Details

    They can get very very tall - quite fast!

    I second that, I have two and they must be over 10 metres tall. It was extremely windy today and the were swaying most alarmingly!
