    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    This handsome and strikingly colored conifer has an upright columnar growth habit to 12-15' tall by only 6-8' wide. Foliage matures into a beautiful soft shade of creamy-gold. Perfect for use as a specimen for tight spaces or where a bright focal point is desired; it also makes for a striking hedge. This is a beautiful tree when left in its natural form and also adapts well to pruning where a formal appearance is desired. S/M

    The scale-like foliage of this clumpy, pyramidal cypress is a very unique, sulphur yellow color that is outstanding in every season. The reddish brown twigs and bark add to the display as it matures.

    Considered by some to be a form of Cupressus arizonica 'Sulphurea' is like a yellow version of 'Blue Ice'. Glabra is in general one of the hardiest Cupressus however, it remains to be seen if 'Sulphurea' fares as well.

    An exceptionally hardy Arizona Cypress. This plant looks like C. glabra ‘Blue Ice’ but has light sulphur-yellow foliage. The plant should be a moderate (15’) grower. Limited numbers.
