The Blue Ice Cypress (Cupressus arizonica 'Blue Ice') is a striking evergreen tree valued for its eye-catching silvery-blue foliage and strong, upright growth habit. A cultivar of the Arizona cypress, it features dense, aromatic, scale-like leaves that hold their vibrant color year-round, making it a standout in any landscape. The tree has a naturally pyramidal shape and grows relatively fast, typically reaching 30 to 40 feet tall and 15 to 20 feet wide at maturity. Its unique color and texture make it a popular choice as a specimen tree, privacy screen, or windbreak.

In addition to its ornamental appeal, Blue Ice is extremely hardy and drought-tolerant once established, thriving in hot, dry climates where many other evergreens struggle. It prefers full sun and well-drained soil and is particularly suited to areas with low humidity. Resistant to many common pests and diseases, it’s a low-maintenance choice for both residential and commercial landscapes. With its bold color, adaptability, and architectural form, the Blue Ice Cypress brings year-round beauty and structure to a wide range of garden settings.
