Insights
As its name suggests, Blue Arizona Cyrus is native to the southwest of North America - Arizona especially. The name ‘Fastigiata’ refers to the fact that the branches grow parallel to the main trunk. First introduced to Britain in the 1890s, it was extremely popular and remains so, due perhaps to its calm acceptance of our climate.
