Cupressus gigantea

Cupressus gigantea Details

This variety of Cupressus is grown for its impressive stature and colourful foliage. Blue-grey foliage is held densely on this evergreen tree. It grows slowly with a narrow and conical shape to 8 m tall and 4 m wide after 10 years. Over many decades it can reach 45 m tall and 15 m wide. It grows best when positioned in full sun on a well-drained site, and is tolerant of frost, cool climates, dry periods, moderate wind, and coastal environments. Cupressus gigantea is commonly grown as a specimen in parks and large gardens.
