'Blue Ice' Arizona Cypress
(Cupressus arizonica)

The South's answer to Colorado Blue Spruce!  - Yes, it IS too hot here for Blue Spruce, but 'Blue Ice' loves our heat and has the best blue-grey foliage year-round for our Southern climate!


'Blue Ice' grows in a columnar shape, much narrower than another popular Arizona cypress cultivar, 'Carolina Sapphire'. 


Plant as a specimen in the border or space 5-6' apart for a hedge or screening.  Also nice in large containers as a colorful accent.
See the five 'Blue Ice' we've planted across the front of the nursery, underplanted with white 'Sea Foam' roses.

'Blue Ice' matures at 15-20' tall by only 6-8' wide.  May easily maintain at 8-10' with once-a-year trimming.  Expect 1-2' of growth a year.

Plant in sun to very light shade
