This evergreen conifer showcases a dense, upright habit, making it an excellent choice for screens, hedges, or statement plantings. It thrives in USDA hardiness zones 5-9 and prefers a moderate temperature range. The stunning silvery-blue foliage provides year-round interest and deepens in color during the cooler months, though no distinct fall color change occurs. It grows best in well-drained clay, loam, or sandy soils and adapts to various pH levels. Deer-resistant and low-maintenance, it matures to a height of 25-35 feet with a spread of 8-12 feet, forming a narrowly pyramidal shape. It does not produce notable flowers or fruit but serves as a bold architectural element in the landscape. Ideal for gardeners looking for both beauty and resilience.
