I purchased these two Boulevard's at three feet in height, Beginning of 08. They both had some browning, I hand pruned the dead foliage wearing my leather garden gloves, since then they have florished. The soft blue hue held well here in zone 8 facing the southwest of my yard, some shade is provided in the heat of the day. Here are a few pictures taken throughout this year; spring thru winter of 08.

My Blue Moss Cypress / Boulevard is kept as a bonsai in Dunellen NJ. I water this plant well, & when it starts to dry I water again. I use Miracle Grow (Miracid) at half strength every two weeks during the growing season.
I find it easy to care for & it survives the cold winters well in NJ, as I keep the plant in an unheated garage during winter months.
You can find this plant at local nurseries in the Northeast area... Home Depot, LOEWS etc etc...

2 are curling on the ends and drying up.
all are planted in well draining soil and are getting plenty of water. have even sprayed for pests.
