Cupressus arizonica var. glabra 'Chaparral' is a large growing, narrowly upright, tree-form of Arizona cypress with unique, seafoam-green colored foliage. After 10 years of growth, a mature specimen will measure up to 10 feet (3 m) tall and 5 feet (1.5 m) wide, an annual growth rate of 12 inches (30 cm) or more. 'Chaparral performs best when planted in full sun in well-draining ordinary soil.
This cultivar originated as a seedling selected in the late 1980s by John Emery of Drue Wholesale Nursery, Berry, Australia.
