The Arizona cypress is native to the arid Southwest. Well adapted to heat and drought, its blue-green foliage forms a graceful conical crown, while its bark ranges from rugged gray- brown to smooth, papery layers of purple and red. Though it grows slowly under natural dry conditions, it can be a rapid grower, up to three feet per year, when planted in richer soils with adequate moisture. The tree produces woody cones that often remain closed for years before releasing seeds. Valued for windbreaks, erosion control, and as a bold ornamental, the Arizona cypress brings resilience, and beauty to dryland gardens.
