Spring Creek sells four kinds of cypress, all cut by you in the field: Murray cypress (Ovensii), Leyland cypress, and two Arizona cypress varieties, Blue Ice and Carolina Sapphire. The farm’s inventory page and its FAQ list the same four, and its home page speaks only of different varieties.
Tree sizes start at about 6 feet. The farm says that in recent seasons its trees have grown taller and fuller, that it still has plenty of trees starting at 6 feet and that this season it has a few 12-footers with plenty to choose from in between. The farm inspects and trims its trees through the year, and says a properly cared-for cut tree lasts about four to six weeks.
Published varieties
- Murray cypress
- Leyland cypress
