Description
The fastest growing coniferous evergreen tree we offer and perfect for tall privacy screen plantings to block unwanted views, the Carolina Sapphire Cypress, also known as Arizona Cypress, features lacy, silvery mint-green foliage that provides year round color and texture in the landscape. Specimens in our gardens have grown to to 30 feet tall and 10 to 12 feet wide in as few as 7 years. A fine alternative to or in combination with the Leyland Cypress in privacy screen plantings.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing in an upright pyramidal form 25 to 30 feet tall and 8 to 12 feet wide, the Carolina Sapphire Cypress is ideal for use in evergreen privacy screen plantings. It is also useful to frame in the corners of tall homes and other buildings or as a specimen or background anywhere in sunny landscape borders. A fine addition to conifer gardens, bird gardens, wildlife gardens and Xeriscape gardens (low water needs). Perfect for an outdoor Christmas tree!
Suggested Spacing:Â Â 10 feet for privacy screen plantings;Â 18 feet or more for space between trees
Note:Â For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 7a, where this Cypress variety is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring. That said, it will need a well-lit indoor location.
Growing Preferences
The Carolina Cypress is tolerant of a wide range of soils, even clay, preferring a moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and plenty of sunshine. Will tolerate light shade but plants in full to mostly sun are much fuller. Minimal to no maintenance, no pruning necessary to keep its dense, naturally conical form. Exceptionally drought tolerant when established.

Great Company! Received the Arizona Cypress packed professionally and WOW the plant was in perfect health. Thank you for babying that tree to share with Gods permanent home. I have had Leland cypress which are great, but don’t stand up to very long periods of drought as the Az. Cypress. And the bonus is to knock out those ugly LED lights that are all the streets and back porches.———————————————————-We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

Since the pandemic, I submerged myself in my garden. I had tried on line purchases for bulbs and perennials in the past. I never bought shrubs or trees. Wilson Bros has excellent products and unique quality selections. Packaging is wonderful,so well protected, and the plants are full, good sizes and healthy….I will continue to look to Wilson Bros in the future.———————————————We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come!

I needed to create a privacy screen that would be quick-growing (as you can see from my photo). After much thought I chose the Carolina Sapphire Arizona Cypress. I couldn’t be happier with my choice. My trees arrived safe and sound! Very well packed. They are healthy and appear to be doing well in their new home. I have had nothing but professional and courteous dealings with Wilson Bros. They are my new go-to nursery! Thanks Wilson Bros. – Hats off to your very gracious and knowledgeable staff!———————————We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come!
