Smooth Arizona Cypress 'Blue Ice'

Blue Ice is generally regarded as a hardy plant, so it can be safe to leave outdoors for the majority of winter (although if in doubt, using a row cover is often a good idea).

Blue Ice is hardy, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside.

The latin ‘glabra’ means “smooth”.¹

This cultivar originated as a seedling selected by Duncan & Davies Nursery, New Plymouth, New Zealand in 1984².
