Arizona cypress

Overview

Arizona cypress (Cupressus arizonica) is an evergreen conifer native to southwestern United States and northern Mexico. Its narrow, columnar conical shape with dense foliage make it an ideal specimen tree or hedge. The grey-green foliage remains on the tree year-round, and provides a striking contrast in landscape design. The bark is red-brown and highly textured. This species is highly drought-resistant, and can survive in temperatures below 0°F. It prefers dry soils, so irrigation is not required in most regions. It's a great choice for windy areas, since its stiffness resists the wind. Its dense foliage is also great for blocking noise. Arizona cypress is an excellent choice for low maintenance, evergreen landscaping.
