Beacon Hill Weeping Lebanon Cedar Tree

Beacon Hill is a weeping selection of Cedar of Lebanon with soft, short green needles on sweeping branches. Its flexible form can be trained into a tall specimen or allowed to wander in a more meandering silhouette. The exact selection is a substantial tree, so give its mature framework ample room. ## Form and growing conditions The [Conservation Garden Park profile](https://conservationgardenpark.jvwcd.gov/plants/1160/beacon-hill-cedar-of-lebanon/) identifies Cedrus libani 'Beacon Hill' and reports a mature size of 40–60 feet tall by 5–10 feet wide, with hardiness zones 5–9. It recommends full sun. The tree adapts to drought and poor soils but performs best with plenty of water, especially while establishing. ## Maintenance Use light pruning to maintain the chosen outline and reduce double leaders. Evergreen trees can take time to establish; provide adequate winter moisture during the first two to three years, checking the root ball during dry winters. Monitor for pests and disease, and give the tree room to develop its distinctive hanging branches.
