Cupressus arizonica var. glabra is an evergreen conifer featuring dense, lacy sprays of fragrant, scale-like leaves that are blue-green to silvery and peeling reddish bark. Excurrent (single dominant leader) with a pyramidal to narrowly columnar habit. Uses include privacy screen, hedge, specimen tree, focal point, windbreak. Thrives in desert and seacoast landscapes. It has low to moderate water needs. Best performance includes deep, infrequent summer watering once established. Adaptable to chalk, sandy, or clay soils, provided they are well-drained. It does not do well in permanently wet, soggy soils. Requires full sun; not shade tolerant. Deer and rabbit-resistant. Good Verticillium wilt-resistance. Cold hardy to -10°F.
