Noteworthy Characteristics
The Blue Ice Cypress is one of the most eyecatching plants in our nursery, and in our gardens. It grows exceptionally fast to about 20 to 30 feet in height with a spread of about 10 to 15 feet at maturity. The outstanding light, silver-blue foliage provides a wonderful contrast in the landscape. The foliage color and texture is so unique that it contrasts nicely with just about any other plant nearby.
Uses
The Blue Ice Cypress is perfect planted in straight or cirved staggered rows to create a beautiful visual and sound buffer. It also makes an outstanding specimen and lends itself well to shearing as an outdoor Christmas tree.
Culture
Blue Ice Cypress is easy to grow in well-drained soils and full sun or light shade. It isn't fussy about soil type even growing in dense clay. No pruning is required unless you want to shear it for a more formal shape. Feed in spring with a well-balanced shrub and tree type fertilizer.
