About Arizona, Cypress Seed
Water-wise landscapes across the South and West rely on Arizona Cypress, a tough native evergreen that handles heat, drought and poor soils with ease. Cupressus arizonica has soft, blue-gray to silvery green foliage and a neat, conical shape, making it a top choice for windbreaks and privacy screens. Its attractive reddish bark and aromatic foliage add extra appeal, and it is also grown as a Christmas tree in warm regions. Also can be used for bonsai growing.

Tips
Pests & Diseases
Seed and seedlings are prone to mold and damping off, so use clean media and good air flow. Canker diseases and root rot can affect trees in humid or poorly drained sites. Site it where air moves freely.
Bagworms and spider mites are the most common pests. Cypress bark beetles may attack drought-stressed trees. Deer usually leave it alone.

Its Role in the Native Ecosystem
Arizona Cypress provides dense, year-round cover and nesting sites for songbirds in dry mountain and canyon habitats. Its small cones hold seed eaten by birds and small mammals. The thick foliage also offers winter shelter for wildlife in otherwise open, arid landscapes.
