This inter-generic cross between Cupressus glabra and Chamaecyparis nootkatensis is absolutely stunning. I saw a large specimen at Larry Stanely’s wonderful conifer nursery in Boring Oregon. It has taken me a few years to obtain this plant but it has been worth the wait. The habit is an upright weeping form, from the nootkatensis parent. The light blue color is from the Arizona cypress.

Hi Architectural Trees, nice to find you. Very nice posts and glad to know that there are nurseries out there like you! We get asked about conifers for the SE (that can withstand summer humidity, something that we don’t have in California) so will look to your blog for some ideas and will refer folks to you.
Best,
Jan and Sara
