Description

Boulevard Cypress offers a striking, contemporary accent to the landscape with its narrow, columnar form and dense, deep-green foliage. In Michigan’s cooler climate, its slow to moderate growth ensures a refined size—typically reaching 10–15 feet in height and spreading 3–5 feet wide—perfect for creating a tidy, architectural screen or a polished focal point. Its consistent evergreen color and sleek structure provide a refreshing, modern statement that enhances any outdoor setting.

General Care

• Sunlight: Thrives in full sun to partial shade, requiring at least 6 hours of direct light daily for optimal growth.
• Soil: Prefers well-drained, moderately fertile soil; amending heavier soils with organic matter can boost drainage and overall plant health.
• Watering: Provide regular moisture during the establishment phase; once established, it tolerates brief dry spells but benefits from consistent watering during extended periods of heat.
• Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch around the base to help retain soil moisture and regulate temperature, keeping mulch slightly away from the trunk to ensure proper airflow.
• Pruning: Minimal pruning is necessary; remove only dead or crossing branches in late winter or early spring to maintain its neat, elegant form.

Boulevard Cypress adds a stunning, modern accent to Michigan landscapes, offering a refined, enduring evergreen presence that elevates any setting with its polished, architectural beauty.
