An upright form of the more common weeping habits of this species. A blue-green lush colour with a soft, feathery texture. Plant as a specimen or for screening. Pinpoint Blue false cypress naturally grows as a narrow column, so it’s great in those tight spaces in the landscape. A nice choice for planting on either side of your entrance. Prefers slightly acidic soil and should be planted in a protected area from winter winds. This tree needs superb drainage. Do not plant in low-lying areas or where standing water occurs, even occasionally. It rarely requires pruning but may be trimmed in Spring if desired and is deer resistant and salt tolerant.
