The needles are soft and the branch tips are a bit curly. The color is a pretty blue/gray/green. The tag was missing and the people at the checkout didnt know what it was. If you could tell me the name, I would really appreciate it!!   Thanks! Joray

I don't know the name of this evergreen shrub/tree I bought. Its needles are soft, and the branch tips are a bit curly. The color is a pretty blue/gray/green. The tag was missing and the people at the checkout didn't know what it was. If you could tell me the name, I would really appreciate it!!

I just came across this pic of your Boulevard cypress. I have one in zone 4/5 in a protected location and it windburns and dessicates pretty easily. Be sure to wrap it with burlap through the winter. It does send out a lot of new growth every year, but without protection, looks scrubby too long. Posted: 9:11 am on November 11th
