The Blue Ice Arizona Cypress is a beautiful specimen evergreen with billowing lacy foliage on slightly pendulous branches. It has a graceful form with radiating branches, and it grows rapidly, reaching 15 feet or more within 10 years. The leaves are a brilliant silver-blue without a trace of green, and this striking tree is very easy to grow, either trimmed or untrimmed. It makes a perfect lawn specimen, a screen or a trimmed hedge. It can also be grown as clipped specimens, and even in large tubs.
Grow the Blue Ice Arizona Cypress in full sun, and this tree thrives in hot, dry locations where almost all other trees will fail. Water regularly during the first years, and after that it is incredible drought tolerant. Free of pests, diseases and untouched by deer, this is a tree to admire, but that asks nothing of you. You can trim between spring and fall for hedges and clipped specimens, as needed.
