Raywood's Weeping Arizona Cypress

Cupressus arizonica var. glabra ‘Raywood's Weeping’

Plant Details:

Plant Type: Evergreen Tree
Plant Family: Cupressaceae
Plant Description: An eye-catching weeping cultivar of a native evergreen tree with finely textured silver-blue foliage. Can be staked when young to encourage a narrow, upright shape. Makes an excellent focal point in the landscape and needs little maintenance. This cultivar is derived from a species native to the southwestern U.S., so it is well suited to dry soil and drought.

Maintenance:

Maintenance Type: Tree - Evergreen
Plant Care: Tree - Evergreen (single-stemmed woody plants that keep their leaves during winter): Light pruning is required to maintain desired shape and to avoid branching problems such as double-leader stems. Evergreen trees can be difficult to establish. Adequate winter moisture is critical for the first 2-3 years until the roots establish. If there is a dry winter check the root ball with your finger for moisture before watering. Monitor for pests and diseases.
