| EVERGREEN PREMIER SELECTION
Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Blue Boulevard'
This is a wonderful, rarely seen small tree that is by far one of our favorites. It has a very neat pyramidal growth habit with soft, silvery blue foliage that grows in a slightly twisted manner. Takes on a slight purplish tinge in the winter. Can be used for an eye-catching specimen tree, small to medium sized border/screen, or can be grouped together in plantings of 3 or 4. Quickly becoming a very popular choice for home landscapes due to its very delicate, ornamental look. Moderate growth - average moisture, likes some organic content in its soil for best color. Full sun to part shade is acceptable.
