    Upright pyramidical tree eventually 40-50’ tall and half as wide with almost horizontal branches with weeping, deciduous, feathery, light green foliage. Enjoys sun in moisture retentive soil (even clay) that is consistently moist to wet; lovely specimen in containers; rain gardens and boggy areas. Deer resistant.

    This gorgeous deciduous conifer is not exactly a weeper, but its graceful horizontal branches have soft, pendulous tips and drooping branchlets. Another fine feature of this 30-50' tree is its cones, which are slightly larger than the species. The fine bright-green needles turn a beautiful bronzy-copper in the autumn before dropping. Native to wetlands, but is successful in moist, well-drained soils and can even tolerate occasional drought. S/M-W

    This Bald Cypress is not dramatically weeping, but the limbs do droop. It looks fresh and soft all summer. It is deciduous, tho. Zone 4

    Deciduous conifer, a long-lived tree that can reach 40-50' in half as many years. Enjoys moist soil, even wetlands, but is successful in moist, well-drained soil as well, even tolerating occasional drought. The branch tips droop slightly on this cultivar, creating a graceful profile and cones are larger than the species. Sun to dappled shade. This North American native is frost hardy to -20 °F, USDA zone 5
