Description

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, fragrant, silvery-blue foliage. This tree is a great alternative to a privacy fence. Water deeply 2-3 times a week during the first two months ; once established, water only during extended periods of drought.

Care

Soil should be well-draining, loamy, and fertile. Thrives in full sun. Carolina is drought-tolerant once established, deer-resistant, and requires minimal pruning, flourishing in well-drained soil and full sun

Growth Habit

At maturity, Carolina Cypress (Carolina Saphire) will reach a mature height of 30-40 ft with a width of 15-20ft. If you plan to create a screen with this tree, plant at least 7 feet apart. Dense foliage with fast growth, up to 3-5 feet each year. No extra pruning or pesticide treatments will be needed for this tree, unlike many evergreens. Best grown in zones 6-9.

Toxicity

Deer resistant. Not considered toxic to pets which makes it a safe landscaping choice, but ingesting large amounts can still cause mild stomach upset or irritation. While not inherently poisonous like some other plants, it's wise to discourage pets from chewing it, as large quantities of any plant material can lead to vomiting or diarrhea
