Cupressus Sempervirens Glauca - Shrubs & Trees - Garden View Nursery

• Native to the Mediterranean region, this classic conifer has been cultivated for thousands of years in formal gardens. • The distinctive blue-grey foliage colour comes from a waxy coating that helps protect against harsh sunlight and drought. • Grows naturally in a narrow columnar shape, typically reaching 8-12 metres tall but only 1-2 metres wide. • Extremely long-lived tree that becomes more drought tolerant and wind resistant with age.

• Water weekly during first year, then only during extended dry periods once established. • Plant in full sun position with at least 6 hours direct sunlight daily for optimal growth. • Use well-draining soil - add coarse sand or gravel to heavy clay soils before planting. • Feed with slow-release fertiliser in early spring, avoiding high-nitrogen products that promote soft growth. • Prune lightly in late winter to maintain shape, removing only green growth tips. • No special humidity requirements - naturally adapted to dry Australian conditions.

• Plant in full sun for best foliage colour and compact growth habit. • Water deeply but infrequently once established - drought tolerance develops after the first year. • Provide excellent drainage as waterlogged soils will kill the plant. • Light pruning in late winter maintains shape but avoid cutting into old wood. • Mulch around the base to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature during extreme weather.

• Cypress canker can cause branch dieback - prune affected areas immediately and ensure good air circulation around the plant. • Scale insects may appear on foliage - treat with horticultural oil spray during cooler months. • Root rot occurs in poorly draining soils - plant in well-draining locations and avoid overwatering. • Cypress pine beetle can attack stressed trees - maintain plant health with adequate water during establishment.
