Cupressus bakeri

Native to northern California and southern Oregon, this slow growing cypress -- to 50 ft in several generations -- does well in tough, sunny situations as long as the soil is well-drained and it gets water until established. Foliage is Gray-blue, somewhat pendulous foliage, aromatic twigs, and red bark are just a few of the pluses. Cold hardy to USDA zone 5.
