Cupressus glabra Raywood’s Weeping

Cupressus glabra ‘Raywood’s Weeping’ is a distinctive ornamental cypress with gracefully cascading branches and fine, blue-green to silvery-blue foliage. Its pendulous growth creates a soft, flowing silhouette that contrasts beautifully with more upright trees and structured garden plantings.

This unusual selection is best suited to specimen planting, where its weeping habit can be fully appreciated. Over time, the branches develop an elegant, irregular outline, adding movement, texture, and year-round interest to the landscape. Its drought tolerance once established makes it a useful choice for sunny gardens with well-drained soil.

Plant in full sun for the best foliage color and strongest growth. It prefers well-drained soil and should not be planted in areas that remain waterlogged. Allow sufficient room for its branches to develop naturally, and use selective pruning only when needed to maintain its desired form

With its cascading outline and cool-toned foliage, ‘Raywood’s Weeping’ offers a distinctive alternative to conventional upright cypresses and brings graceful character to a sunny landscape.
