Blue Ice Arizona Cypress
Cupressus arizonica 'Blue Ice'
Striking and architectural, Blue Ice Arizona Cypress is prized for its icy blue-silver foliage and strong, pyramidal form. This evergreen conifer adds bold color and texture year-round, making it a standout choice for privacy screens, windbreaks, or specimen plantings. Its fine, aromatic foliage and upright growth create a clean, modern look in the landscape.
Exceptionally tough and drought-tolerant once established, Blue Ice thrives in hot, sunny conditions and well-drained soils. Its fast growth and low-maintenance nature make it a reliable option for adding structure and color with minimal effort.

Welcome to The Plant Firm
The Plant Firm was created during the lockdown of 2020 as a fun project to give me something to do. It quickly became a much larger endeavor and one that I knew needed more attention to be done right. I was tired of paying an arm and a leg for plants at the big box store and saw an opportunity to save people time and money while also delivering straight to their door. So, here we are in 2023. Officially up and running with an amazing team, more plants, and a desire to provide you with better plants at better prices!
