This coniferous evergreen tree is prized for its narrow, upright habit and striking blue-green needle foliage, which creates a striking focal point in any landscape. Hardy in zones 6-9, it thrives in cooler climates with temperatures ranging from -10°F to 20°F, making it an excellent choice for areas with mild winters. This cedar exhibits no notable fall color change as it maintains its vibrant needles year-round. It produces small, decorative cone-shaped fruits that add seasonal interest to its graceful, pyramidal shape. Adorning well-drained soils, it prefers slightly acidic conditions and demonstrates moderate resistance to deer browsing. Mature specimens can reach a height of 40-50 feet with a spread of 15-20 feet. Perfect for large gardens or parks, its elegant form and unique coloration enhance its appeal as an ornamental tree.
