Cedar - Blue Atlas Weeping

The Atlas Blue Cedar Glauca Pendula, Cedrus a. 'Glauca Pendula', is an evergreen conifer that adorns the garden with soft, silvery blue needles around twisted branches that arch toward the ground; grows 10-15 feet in height. This conifer can be trained to conform to a desired silhouette, much like a large bonsai. It has a wonderful weeping form when the branches are left to drape to the ground. With this stunning feature (long cascading branches) it can spread quite some distance. Glauca Pendula, in its old age, gets broader and develops a flat-topped form. It requires full sun, but can tolerate some shade if needed. Adapts to most soils, but prefers well drained, acidic loam in an area away from strong winds. To keep the tree from growing too near the ground, stake and train while young to the form preferred. Follow a regular watering schedule during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. Feed with a general purpose fertilizer before new growth begins in spring. . ... more information
