Scientific Name:
Chamaecyparis nootkatensis 'Pendula'

Family:
Weeping Nootka False Cypress

Family:
Cupressaceae

Description:
Among the lesser-known but extremely impressive evergreens which are becoming increasingly available is Weeping Nootka False Cypess, also known as Weeping Alaska Cedar. This graceful tree can reach thirty feet in height, and may serve as a foundation or specimen tree, or in a screen function if planted in a row or cluster. While sparsely branched in youth, it fills in with age and is a true investment for mature landscapes.
