CHAMAECYPARIS NOOTKATENSIS PENDULA FREE

In gardens it can be grown all across the cooler, moister parts of the country, from east to west, and it makes a beautiful specimen tree in any garden. Wild trees have a slightly weeping appearance, but in the Weeping Alaska Cedar this has been taken much further, giving us a wonderful tree with horizontal branches and long, cascading side-branches dropping vertically to the ground in a most graceful and striking way. The Alaska cedar is a majestic tree that grows wild all along the Pacific coast, from northern California to south-eastern Alaska. Plant it in the lawn as a specimen, among other evergreens in a bed, among boulders and gravel, or even in large pot, where it will decorate a terrace or patio for years.

Otherwise this tree is free of significant pests and diseases, needs no pruning, and grows all by itself, making it an ideal choice for a low-maintenance garden. Young trees should be watered regularly during dry weather. The Weeping Alaska Cedar should be planted in regular garden soil that is well-drained but does not become completely dry in summer.

Unique and striking specimen for any style of garden.

Easily grown in all the cooler parts of the country.

This tree will grow steadily until it is perhaps 30 feet tall, but often it will be smaller, and with its narrow outline it will fit well into a smaller garden, making a real statement without taking up a lot of room. It will really stand out and turn heads, so place it in an open area, not crowded by other plants, so that its great beauty can be fully appreciated. It has an upright central trunk, and widely-spaced side branches that grow out horizontally, but from those branches pendulous sprays grow, falling straight towards the ground and giving this tree a unique and special form.

The Weeping Alaska Cedar is a beautiful evergreen tree of medium size that makes a striking specimen in the garden.
