Arizona Cypress Cupressus 'Silver Smoke'

Does anyone have experience with this cultivar?
How does it compare in size, shape and color to 'Blue
Ice' and 'Carolina Sapphire'?

I read online that it is a slow grower. I thought Arizona Cypress Cupressus in general is a fast grower.

Thanks in advance!

While I have read that Arizona Cypress can reach 3 ft. of annual growth, I have not observed that in my area with either Blue Ice, Carolina Sapphire, or wild cypress. 16 -18" is more the norm, with Carolina Sapphire achieving 24" in a good year.
