Cupressus torulosa Arctic Green

Common Name:
Arctic Green Himalayan Cypress

Description:
Cupressus torulosa ‘Arctic Green’ is a striking, evergreen conifer known for its dense, upright growth habit and rich, deep green foliage. This fast-growing tree develops a strong, pyramidal form with slightly twisted branches, adding texture and movement to the landscape. Arctic Green is highly adaptable, thriving in well-drained soils and full sun, and is particularly valued for its resilience to harsh conditions, including wind, cold, and drought once established. Its vibrant green colour remains consistent throughout the year, making it an excellent choice for hedging, windbreaks, screening, or as a feature tree in larger gardens and rural properties.
