(Cupressus arizonica)
Native to Mexico and the Southwest, Arizona cypress is a fast-growing, spectacular blue-green tree that is great for screening, windbreaks and pool areas. Its foliage is fragrant when brushed against and the small round cones are attractive without making a mess. Beautiful combined with other low water use plants such as rosemary, China roses, blackfoot daisy and native salvias. Or use it to provide textural contrast to strongly architectural plants like agaves and yuccas. Needs good drainage.
