Chamaecyparis nootkatensis ‘Glauca Pendula’

Chamaecyparis nootkatensis ‘Glauca Pendula’ (Weeping Blue Alaska Cedar) is a dramatic evergreen conifer prized for its strongly pendulous branches and rich green to blue-green foliage. Its narrow, pyramidal form features cascading branchlets that create elegant movement and architectural interest in the landscape. This distinctive weeping habit makes it a standout specimen tree in both residential and commercial settings.

With a moderate growth rate of 12–18 inches per year, ‘Pendula’ performs well in USDA Zones 4–8. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil, developing good drought tolerance once established. Ideal for focal point plantings, large garden spaces, and conifer collections, this graceful Alaska Cedar provides year-round texture, structure, and timeless appeal.
