Carolina Saphire Cypress

Carolina Saphire is an Arizona Cypress that is a tall, wide, evergreen tree. The species name reflects the prevalence of this native United States conifer in the state of Arizona. Carolina is a fast-growing evergreen that features lacy, silvery-blue foliage. This tree is a great alternative to a privacy fence. Not only is this evergreen fast-growing, but it is also deer, disease, and insect resistant! Just plant these trees in the ground for a lovely accent tree or use it as a wind barrier for your property. No extra pruning or pesticide treatments will be needed for this tree, unlike many evergreens. At maturity, Carolina will reach a mature height of 40 to 60 feet with a width of 15 to 20 feet. If you plan to create a screen with this tree, plant at least 7 feet apart.
