    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Its lovely symmetrical pyramidal habit, superior drought tolerance (once established) and handsome blue-gray foliage make this fast-growing (to 20-25' tall x 10-12' wide) evergreen an excellent screen. S-PSh/M-D/GDr

    This form of Arizona Cypress is a more vigorous selection with a less coral-like (if you will) habit of growth, and sea-green-bluish foliage. It has a similar pyramidal habit to other forms of this species and may reach 40' tall. Like most Cypresses it should be in full sun with good drainage. Hardy to about -10 °F.
