This upright, narrow, and columnar evergreen is characterized by dense, steel-blue foliage, providing year-round interest and architectural appeal to landscapes. Hardy to USDA zones 7-10, it thrives in full sun and tolerates a wide range of well-draining soils, including sandy or loamy types. Adaptable to dry conditions once established, it demonstrates moderate deer resistance and is ideal for Mediterranean or xeric gardens. Its mature height reaches 40-60 feet, with a spread of approximately 10-15 feet, making it an excellent choice for privacy screens, formal gardens, or as a striking vertical accent. This cultivar does not exhibit noticeable fall color changes, nor does it produce ornamental fruit, focusing its appeal on its clean foliage and elegant form.
