Nootka Cypress 'Glauca'
FamilyCupressaceae
Chamaecyparis nootkatensis ‘Glauca’, also known as 'Glauca' Nootka cypress, is a majestic conifer with a slender habit, appreciated for its narrow, regular, and slightly weeping silhouette. Its blue-green foliage with silvery reflections, dense and cascading in graceful sweeps, gives it an elegant presence all year round, whether as a specimen plant or in an alignment. Very hardy, ‘Glauca’ adapts to well-drained soils and tolerates the wind, snow, and cold of Quebec. It is an excellent choice for structured vertical plantings, tall informal hedges, or gardens with a Nordic or contemporary aesthetic. It is an architectural and long-lived conifer that evolves slowly but magnificently.
