About this plant
Cupressus arizonica 'Blue Ice', commonly known as Arizona Cypress 'Blue Ice', is a striking conifer prized for its intensely silvery-blue, almost metallic foliage that provides excellent year-round interest in the landscape. This evergreen displays a dense, pyramidal form, making it a fantastic option for privacy screens, windbreaks, or as a specimen tree. Its unique color and low-maintenance nature make it both functional and ornamental for gardens and landscapes, particularly in arid regions. 'Blue Ice' is drought-tolerant, requiring minimal water once established, and thrives in well-draining soils under full sun exposure.
