Green Weeping Alaska Cedar

Green Weeping Alaska Cedar is a large evergreen conifer with a straight leader, spreading limbs, and drooping, scale-like branchlets. Its gray-green foliage and layered weeping structure suit it to a spacious specimen planting. ## Form and size The exact ‘Pendula’ selection is commonly listed at 35–50 feet tall and 15–20 feet wide. Oregon State University describes its pyramidal habit, upcurving branches, and hanging gray-green branchlets; North Carolina Extension gives the same mature-size range and USDA zones 4–8.

This coastal conifer performs best in humid conditions and can become much smaller in cultivation than its potential mature dimensions.

Preserve the naturally arching, pendulous branches; remove only dead, damaged, or poorly placed growth.
