Blue Ice Cypress

Blue Ice Cypress (Cupressus arizonica var. glabra ‘Blue Ice’) is a striking evergreen conifer known for its dramatic silvery-blue foliage and strong vertical structure. With its dense, pyramidal form and finely textured needles, this fast-growing tree makes a bold statement in any landscape. Reaching heights of 20–30 feet and spreading 10–15 feet wide, Blue Ice Cypress is ideal as a specimen tree, privacy screen, or evergreen hedge. Its foliage retains its icy blue tone year-round, offering four-season visual interest and contrast against green plantings or darker evergreens. This low-maintenance conifer thrives in full sun and well-drained soils and is remarkably heat and drought tolerant once established. Unlike many evergreens, Blue Ice Cypress performs well in hot, dry climates, making it an excellent choice for xeriscaping, windbreaks, or larger mixed borders in challenging environments. Its resistance to pests and diseases, combined with its architectural presence, makes it a favorite among landscape designers seeking color, texture, and form with minimal upkeep. Whether planted in rows for a stunning privacy barrier or used individually as an eye-catching focal point, Blue Ice Cypress adds structure and elegance to residential and commercial landscapes alike. Its refined foliage, adaptability, and fast growth make it a valuable addition to any landscape plan looking for evergreen interest with a cool-toned twist. For year-round beauty and performance in sun-drenched sites, Blue Ice Cypress is a reliable and visually captivating choice.
