E3154 Arizona Cypress ( Cupressus arizonica var. arizonica )
A moderately large cypress to over 80 feet tall, native to western Texas, New Mexico and southeastern Arizona, where it grows on dry slopes and in canyons. The scale-like leaves on much-branched shoots have a silvery-blue hue.
While young trees have a conical shape, old plants develop a dense, broad, spreading crown. Hardy to drought and severe freezes, it is best suited to dry temperate climates in USDA hardiness zones 7 to 9.

We recommend using the Seedman's Cold Stratification Kits for cold stratification.
