Description

A very fast grower and fine choice for a quick privacy screen, the Blue Ice Cypress is one of the most eye-catching evergreen trees in our gardens. The stunning silvery-blue foliage provides outstanding color and texture that contrasts nicely with almost any other type of plant. As mentioned, a perfect choice for a privacy screen and also nice on the corners to frame tall homes. Can also be sheared to form an outdoor Christmas tree. Exceptionally low maintenance, drought tolerant and disease and insect resistant. Deer turn their nose up to it.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing in an upright conical form 20 to 30 feet tall and 8-12 feet wide, the Blue Ice Cypress is ideal for use in evergreen privacy screen plantings, where it can be used solo or mixed with other evergreens to create a pleasing effect. It is also useful to frame in the corners of tall homes and other buildings or as a specimen or background anywhere in sunny landscape borders. A fine addition to conifer gardens, blue theme gardens, bird gardens, wildlife gardens and Xeriscape gardens (low water needs). Perfect for an outdoor Christmas tree!

Suggested Spacing: 8 to 10 feet apart for privacy screen plantings; 16 feet or more for space between trees

Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 7a, where this Arizona Cypress variety is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring. That saod, it will need a well-lit indoor location.

Growing Preferences

The Blue Ice Cypress is tolerant of a wide range of soils, even clay, preferring a moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and plenty of sunshine. Will tolerate light shade, but plants in full to mostly sun are much fuller. Minimal to no maintenance, no pruning necessary to keep its dense, naturally conical form. Exceptionally drought tolerant when established.
