Carolina Sapphire (botanical name: Cupressus arizonica var. glabra ‘Carolina Sapphire’) is a fast-growing evergreen conifer prized for its soft, feathery foliage in a striking silvery-blue color and its pleasant, fresh fragrance. This variety of Arizona Cypress is often used as a privacy screen, windbreak, or specimen tree, adding year-round color and texture to the landscape. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, showing excellent drought tolerance once established. Carolina Sapphire is hardy in USDA growing zones 6 through 9, where it can reach heights of 30–40 feet with a spread of 15–20 feet, making it a bold yet adaptable choice for both residential and commercial plantings.
