Chamaecyparis nootkatensis ‘Sparkling Arrow’

Chamaecyparis nootkatensis ‘Sparkling Arrow’ is a narrow, upright selection of Alaska Cedar prized for its strong central leader and graceful, pendulous side branches. Its brightly variegated foliage forms a tight, columnar silhouette, making it an excellent choice for vertical accents, privacy screens, and tight landscape spaces where height without excessive width is desired.

With a moderate growth rate of 8-12 inches per year, ‘Sparkling Arrow’ performs best in USDA Zones 4–8. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil, showing good cold hardiness and adaptability once established. Ideal for specimen plantings and formal designs, this elegant evergreen provides year-round structure, texture, and a refined architectural presence.
