Sulfur or Suphur, no matter how you spell it - the color is unmistakable! The incredibly showy Sulphurea Arizona Cypress (Cupressus glabra 'Sulphurea') is just the conifer tree you've been searching for to highlight your home and garden! Bright yellow, nearly chartreuse green new growth mellows slightly to bright green for the rest of the growing season and holds throughout the winter too!
Contrasting with dark green evergreens and really highlighting your home's exterior, these are supremely eye-catching trees that pair wonderfully with other landscaping plants! Complimenting yellows, orange and reds, brightening greens and blues, while really adding curb appeal when partnered with purple shades! Ideal for using under power lines, these trees are never overpowering in size, but will show off bigtime with color!
Sulphurea Arizona Cypress features ultra fine-textured, tiny needles, these appear as a misty burst of color in the landscape. Growing compact and more columnar, these narrow growing selections retain their pointed tops and wider bases without overtaking neighboring trees or shrubs. Sometimes called the Yellow Arizona Cypress, these are vivid conifers that add bright yellows, golds and bright greens to warmer climates where other evergreens may struggle to grow.
Planting and Application:
Ideal and bird-friendly windbreaks, shelterbelts, and privacy fences are perfect applications for these faster-growing selections that are prized for their colorful foliage! Snip a few for floral arrangements and winter décor both indoors and out! Mass plantings really draw the eye when used as hedges and property division, creating fuss-free backdrops when zigzagged together, mixed among other evergreens, or grouped in naturalized clusters.
Sulphurea Arizona Cypress is an impressive specimen and focal point throughout the garden landscape! Plant one front and center in your home's main planting area or as a vivid anchor that softens hard corners. Your home will become a beacon of color with a narrow row of these trees screening off your front or side yard from the bustle of the road or a messy neighbor - creating a low-maintenance and colorful friendly fence!

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Cypress trees love the full sun, doing their best and displaying the most color in 6 hours of sunlight a day. Provide a well-drained location, but these are highly adaptable to most soil types, salt and coastal areas, heat, clay and even drought once established. Adaptable to pruning and shearing if a formal appearance is desired, they look just as nice when left to their own devices and grow into a fluffy-looking pyramid. Deer resistant and easy to care for, these are drought-tolerant, pest-resistant Conifers once they're established.
- Full Sun
- Prune or Shear When Needed
- Moderate to Low Moisture Once Established
- Tolerates Clay, Salt, & Rocky Soils
- Drought & Deer Resistant
