Water Saving Tip:

Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems. Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.

Siberian cypress is a very low, wide-spreading, evergreen shrub similar in appearance to juniper. It has scale-like leaves that are bright green and feathery, with a coppery-brown fall color. Texture is softer and less prickly than that of juniper. Moderate growing to about 6 to 18 inches tall and 4 to 6 feet wide.
