I love this tree. I planted my first one about 2 years ago. It was about 5' tall and now it's doubled in size. It's drought tolerant, thrives in the heat and has no known issues. I'll always have it in my garden.
I live at 6200ft. in Golden, CO and have had my original Arizona cypress (? cultivar) for 5 years. It is happily putting on more than a foot a year with our average 15" annual rainfall. I have added 3 "Blue Ice" cultivars over the last 4 years, and all have thrived. They are not broused by the native deer and elk. The color of "Blue Ice" is stunning year-round.
I planted my Arizona Cypress about five years ago. I live in North Miami,Florida.
The tree has surpassed my expectations. It is now about fifteen feet tall and very full and beautiful. The only thing I worry about is that it has not grown in a cone like manner. The tree is very fat and is now almost overtaking the near by trees I had planted not so close to it. I am wondering if it can be pruned to a more pyramidical shape.
This tree needs little care : weekly watering the first year and the next year about every other week if you feel like it. After that I water only monthly if in a drought. Mine have grown about 18" year. Beautiful blue-gray-green color. Distinctive cone shaped tree with no pruning. Good for screening, shade, or specimen use. Grow in soil with pH to 8.0. Full sun. Well-drained location. Full height of these is supposed to be 30' +.
