Total winter hardy here in Colorado, remarkably fast growth.
I'm very happy with the five trees i have, they've been through 15 below and no issues.

The most beautiful conifer I've seen, steely blue foliage on tight branches, fast grower - from 4 ft to 12 ft in 4 years. It's about 8 ft wide. It receives full sun and gets regular watering from the sprinkler system, but needs only occasional water.
It can take heat up to 100 degree F and holds up to ice rain and occasional snow with temperatures down to 20 degree F in North Texas.

My three Arizona cypresses have now survived a hard winter here in the Pacific Northwest (snow, ice, wind and extended sub-freezing temps) with no sign of problems. They've grown from 1-gallon saplings to twelve-foot pyramids in just five years. Admired by everyone in my urban setting, they form the anchor of a blue-toned garden, and are spectacular in moonlight.
