Product Details
Overview & Specifications
Cupressus Blue Ice, Cupressus glabra 'Blue Ice'
Few conifers command attention like Blue Ice. Its striking silver-blue foliage, strong upright form, and rapid growth rate make it one of the most versatile and visually arresting specimens available in advanced stock. Purpose-built for properties that demand structure and presence from day one.
Why Blue Ice
Distinctive Foliage: Intense silver-blue colouring provides year-round contrast against green canopies and built structures.
Rapid Vertical Growth: Reaches 10m+ at up to 1m per year, delivering height and screening without years of waiting.
Exceptional Hardiness: Tolerates drought, poor soils, coastal exposure, and salt-laden winds with minimal intervention.
Dense, Structured Form: Naturally columnar habit suits formal compositions; responds well to pruning for refined hedging applications.
Aromatic Presence: Releases a clean, resinous fragrance, a subtle sensory detail that elevates the landscape experience.
Ideal Applications
Screening and Privacy Hedges: Fast-establishing, dense canopy delivers effective visual barriers along boundaries and driveways.
Formal Specimen Planting: Deployed as a singular focal point or in symmetrical pairs to anchor entries and architectural axes.
Windbreak Planting: Reliable protection for exposed rural and coastal properties without sacrificing aesthetics.
Mediterranean and Structured Landscapes: A natural complement to stone, gravel, and restrained formal planting schemes.
Specimen & Installation
Spacing (screening/hedge): 2 to 3m
