Cupressus glabra 'Raywood's Weeping'
Zone 5-9
Growth Rate 8-12" per year
Imagine a wave jumping out of the water and freezing in time and creating a pillar of blue. Well, that is exactly what ‘Cupressus glabra ‘Raywood’s Weeping’ creates in the garden.
A blue smooth bark cypress botanically named Cupressus glabra, this blue weeping form will thrive in warmer climates that many other blue tree form plants would not.
Every visitor to your garden will comment on the beautiful form and color of this plant. Each ‘Raywood’s Weeping’ is one of a kind depending on how it grows from a tower of blue to a weeping cascade of icy blue water.
Another outstanding feature of this plant are the small white flakes that cover the foliage making a beautiful display like sparkling ice when illuminated by the sun.
