Selected over 30 years ago as a seedling near Loma Prieta in the Santa Cruz Mtns. Eventually to 30' or more with densely-held pendulous branches, giving almost the silhouette of an Italian cypress. Newly available, this cultivar should provide a most interesting new landscape feature on the west coast where temps don't fall below 10 °F.
