Cupressus nootkatensis 'Tatra' is a broadly conical, very densely branched, multi-stemmed tree-form of Nootka cypress with exceptional blue foliage, arguably the best blue selection in this species. After 10 years of growth, a mature specimen will measure 6 to 7.5 feet (2 - 2.5 m) tall and nearly as wide, an annual growth rate of 6 to 8 inches (15 - 20 cm).
This cultivar originated as a seedling selected in 1975 by F. Machala of нehuСice Nursery, Czech Republic.
