Cupressus Arizonica Var. Glabra ‘Carolina Sapphire’ 15 Gal

Blue Arizona Cypress 'Carolina Sapphire'
Cupressus arizonica var. glabra 'Carolina Sapphire' syn. Hesperocyparis arizonica 'Carolina Sapphire'

Gorgeous fast-growing, drought-tolerant evergreens with lacy, steely blue-gray foliage with a fine texture. They have a broad conical habit, fuller and more symmetrical form than the species. Pleasing accents and windbreaks, can also be used as a sheared topiaries in the garden. They can also be used as live Christmas trees outdoors.

The extremely aromatic foliage is fantastic in displays and arrangements - we love to use them in wreaths.

They love hot and sunny locations - great on south and west facing slopes. Drought tolerant once established. 

Introduced by Clemson University.
