The Arizona cypress and the Deodar cedar are good choices for privacy screens but have different advantages and disadvantages.

The Arizona cypress is a native plant to the southwestern United States, so it is well-adapted to the hot, dry climate. It is also a fast-growing tree, reaching a mature height of 20-30 feet in just a few years. The Arizona cypress has a dense, conical shape that provides good privacy, and its blue-gray foliage is attractive year-round.

The Deodar cedar is a larger tree, reaching a mature height of 50-70 feet. It is also a fast-growing tree but not as drought-tolerant as the Arizona cypress. The Deodar cedar has a more spreading growth habit than the Arizona cypress, and its silvery-green foliage is also attractive year-round.

Here is a table comparing the two trees:

Feature	Arizona Cypress	Deodar Cedar
Native range	Southwestern United States	Himalayas
Mature height	20-30 feet	50-70 feet
Growth rate	Fast	Fast
Drought tolerance	Good	Fair
Growth habit	Conical	Spreading
Foliage color	Blue-gray	Silvery-green

 

Ultimately, the best tree for you will depend on your specific needs and preferences. If you are looking for a fast-growing, drought-tolerant tree native to the southwestern United States, the Arizona cypress is a good choice. If you are looking for a larger tree with a more spreading growth habit, then the Deodar cedar is a good choice.

Deadheading is the removal of spent flowers. This helps to encourage new blooms and prevents the formation of seed heads. It is a simple process that can be done with your fingers or with a pair of scissors.

To deadhead, simply pinch or cut the spent flower off just below the base. Be sure to remove the entire flower, including the stem. If you leave the stem attached, the plant may focus its energy on producing seeds instead of new flowers.

Deadheading can be done on a regular basis, or you can wait until the majority of the flowers on a plant have faded. It is a good idea to deadhead regularly if you want to keep your plants blooming all season long.

Here are some of the benefits of deadheading:

• Encourages new blooms
• Prevents the formation of seed heads
• Keeps plants looking neat and tidy
• Can extend the blooming period

Some plants that benefit from deadheading include:

• Annuals: Annuals are plants that complete their life cycle in one year. They typically bloom for a few weeks or months, and then they die. Deadheading annuals will help to prolong their blooming period.
  
• Perennials: Perennials are plants that live for more than two years. They typically bloom for a shorter period of time than annuals, but they will come back year after year. Deadheading perennials will help to keep them looking their best and encourage new blooms.
  
• Shrubs: Shrubs are woody plants that can live for many years. They typically bloom for a few weeks or months in the spring or summer. Deadheading shrubs will help to keep them looking neat and tidy and encourage new blooms.
  
• Trees: Trees are woody plants that can live for hundreds of years. They typically bloom for a short period of time in the spring. Deadheading trees is not usually necessary, but it can be done to remove dead or diseased branches.
  

If you are not sure whether or not to deadhead a particular plant, it is always best to err on the side of caution and deadhead it. Deadheading is a simple process that can be done quickly and easily, and it can help to keep your plants looking their best and encourage new blooms.
