Why Choose Cupressus torulosa Arctic Green?

This cultivar stands out due to its lush, arctic-green foliage that holds vibrant colour all year round.

With its moderate growth rate, Cupressus torulosa Arctic Green establishes quickly, bringing privacy and shelter to your property without becoming unruly.

The dense growth makes it ideal for noise reduction and windbreaks, and it's an attractive alternative to more common hedging plants. Because of its resilience, Cupressus torulosa Arctic Green is also a great choice for exposed or challenging sites where other species may struggle.

Growing and Caring for Cupressus torulosa Arctic Green

Cupressus torulosa Arctic Green thrives in full sun and well-drained soils. It is drought-tolerant once established, but will benefit from regular watering during its first season.
