Blue Nootka Cypress

Blue Nootka Cypress is an evergreen conifer selected for its blue-green foliage and upright, pyramidal outline. This full-size tree needs room to develop and is best placed where its mature spread will not crowd paths, buildings, or overhead wires. ## Form and siting The ‘Glauca’ selection is listed with an approximate mature range of 15–25 feet tall and 6–15 feet wide. Use the range as a planning guide rather than a guarantee; growth varies with climate and conditions. [Gardenia](https://www.gardenia.net/plant/chamaecyparis-nootkatensis-glauca/1000) ## Growing conditions Give it full sun or partial shade and moist, well-drained soil. Slightly acidic soil is preferred, though the cited profile notes tolerance of chalky soils. Avoid hot, dry exposure where possible.

No routine pruning is needed; remove damaged branches when appropriate and keep the root zone evenly moist while the tree establishes.
