Of all the world's weeping trees, the beauty of this species remains unrivalled, with its shower-like cascade of small, deep green, evergreen leaves. Plant it where it can be viewed from a distance, or as a centerpiece for a very large patio. Native to Chile, it is not generally considered to be very cold hardy, but this form from a long established Seattle specimen that has endured many cold winters is superior, adding to the palette of cold-hardy broad-leafed evergreens suitable for Pacific Northwest cultivation. Hardy to 5 °F. To 40'. White flowers. Selected from UW campus.
