Glauca Pendula Weeping Lebanon Cedar

‘Glauca Pendula’ is a strongly weeping cedar with blue-green to powder-blue evergreen needles. Its eventual silhouette depends on how the young leader is trained: staking can lift the central stem, while an unsupported plant may trail or spread close to the ground.

Published dimensions vary considerably: RHS gives 4–8 m tall and 1.5–2.5 m wide, while Loen Nursery lists 10–15 ft tall and 15–20 ft wide; Virginia Tech notes that a related pendulous form may become much wider when left unstaked. These sources describe different outcomes, reflecting how staking and training shape the mature outline. Taxonomic references variously place this name with Atlas cedar, so the selection name is retained and the species attribution should be treated cautiously.

Virginia Tech recommends average to dry moisture for cedars and notes that establishment is important because Lebanon and Atlas cedars can be difficult to transplant.

Otherwise let branches cascade naturally and avoid routine shearing. Water during establishment and keep the planting site well drained.
