xSilvery blue-green foliage and a fast, fragrant evergreen screen that thrives where summers run hot and dry.
Carolina Sapphire is a standout selection of Arizona Cypress (Cupressus spp.), prized for its soft, feathery foliage in a striking frosted blue-green that holds its color all year. It grows fast into a loosely pyramidal form, reaching around 40 ft. tall and 12 ft. wide at maturity, and the crushed foliage carries a pleasant lemon-mint fragrance. With its open, graceful habit and silvery tone, it works beautifully as a privacy screen, a windbreak, or a single specimen that stands apart from the usual green hedge.
Why growers choose the Carolina Sapphire
- Fast privacy. A quick grower that fills in a screen or windbreak far sooner than slower conifers, giving you height and coverage in just a few seasons.
- Year-round color. The frosty blue-green foliage is evergreen and keeps its cool silvery tone through every season, including winter.
- Heat and drought tough. Bred from a desert-region species, it shrugs off hot, dry summers once established and tolerates lean, fast-draining soils.
- Fragrant, fine-textured foliage. Soft, lacy sprays release a fresh lemon-mint scent when brushed or crushed, a trait you rarely get from a screening conifer.
- Distinctive specimen. The blue cast and feathery habit make it a focal point, not just a backdrop, whether planted alone or in a row.
Set several in a row for a fast, fragrant privacy hedge or windbreak, anchor a corner of the yard with a single tree as a specimen, or use it to soften a long fence line with year-round silvery color. Hardy in zones 6-9.
