The Carolina Sapphire was developed in 1968 at Clemson University.  It is a relatively new cultivar of the Arizona Cypress.  They have steely blue green color, dense lacy foliage and tiny yellow flows.  The aroma is a mix of lemon, lime and mint.  The seed cones are round, about ½ inch in diameter.  Customers sometimes refer to these as the trees with jingle bells on them.  While the longevity of this tree is similar to a Cedar, the foliage is soft to the touch.
