Noteworthy Characteristics
This unique clone of the Carolina Sapphire Cypress is a total winner! It has the most outstanding, brightest, smokey blue-grey evergreen foliage we've ever seen on a Cupressus glabra. The foliage produces the illusion of smoke against its reddish brown, peeling bark. The habit and form is similar to others in the genus but the color of Silver Smoke blows the rest away!
Uses
Silver Smoke Cypress makes an excellent addition to a screen planting, where it can be mixed with other evergreens to create a pleasing effect. It can also be used as a lone specimen, where its conical form can make a striking display. The tree should have full sun, good wintertime drainage and be allowed to fend for itself.
Culture
The Silver Smoke Cypress is easy to grow in a location that provides well-drained soil and plenty of sunshine. It is low maintenance requiring little if any pruning to keep it's naturally conical, dense form.

Stands out in my landscaping with their silvery color. Cant wait to see them grow!
The tree arrived very well packaged and in good condition. It's been a couple of months and the tree is doing great.
Very nice healthy plant, great packing! I immediately planted it and in just a short few weeks it has probably grown 6 inches. Very pleased and will definitely order again!
These trees are very cool and offer a unique and lively color. They grow extremely fast and work very well as a "privacy" fence in our yard. We planted over 100 of these in our yard and all of them are doing very well. Would recommend to anyone who is looking for a natural fence for their yard.
