'BLUE ICE' The Blue Ice Cypress. The intense silver blue foliage is superb. Old stems have an attractive, very smooth cherry red to mahogany- brown thin peeling bark. This selection is also more wind tolerantand much hardier than the species. Fantastic selection! We always sell out of this gem. To see a larger photo (48k) click on small one. Large Pyramidal Zone 7 GOLDEN PYRAMID' This new cultivar has extremely nice golden colored foliage with the same excellent habit as C. arizonica `Blue Ice'. Brilliant! Limited availability. A very nice selection! To see a larger photo (48) click on small one. Macnabiana Macnab Cypress Intermediate Broad/Upright Zone 6 This Cypress was introduced by W. Lobb to Veitch Nurseries UK, in 1854. It has nice shiny dark blue-green foliage with dark reddish-brown and scaling gray-brown bark on old selections. The foliage when brushed against has a pleasant and very fragrant odor that is similar to a sweet honey-citrus. They do exceptionally well in a dry location but do not tolerate wet feet. It is a nice disease-free, long-lived tree and the ones I saw in Hungary are quite hardy, at least zone 6. Please prune the dwarf Blue Spruce to return to the top. �1997-2009 All rights reserved.
