Cupressus cashmeriana Blue Cascade

Common Name:
Blue Cascade Kashmir Cypress

Description:
Cupressus cashmeriana ‘Blue Cascade’ is a striking, weeping conifer known for its soft, pendulous branches and finely textured, silvery-blue foliage. This elegant evergreen tree creates a dramatic focal point in any landscape, with its cascading, feathery foliage adding movement and grace. Thriving in well-drained soil and full sun, Blue Cascade is relatively low-maintenance and drought-tolerant once established. It is well-suited to large gardens, parklands, and feature plantings where its weeping habit can be fully appreciated. Due to its distinct form and year-round interest, it is also an excellent choice for Japanese-inspired or formal gardens.
