Description

This tall, fast-growing conifer is best used as a screen or windbreak. It is evergreen, has silvery blue foliage, and smooth gray bark. However, this Cypress sheds its bark annually, revealing a smooth, red inner bark. It is highly drought tolerant and can reach 70' at maturity. Leaves have a pleasant fragrance when crushed.

Water Saving Tip:

Even during our hottest months we don't need to water daily.

Give your plants a chance to breathe.

Water late at night or in the early morning hours to avoid losses to wind and evaporation.
