    Beautiful, graceful, elegantly arranged pendulous branches on a medium size tree with rich green foliage. Originally listed as Zone 6 but now considered much more hardy, -30 degrees according to Dirr. A truly gorgeous tree if you have the space. Great Plant Picks - Miller Botanical Garden

    Weeping Alaska Cedar is one of the most pendulous of the larger conifers. Its foliage is matte green and coarse in texture. It can grow up to 30', reaching 10' in 10 years. A tolerance for "wet feet" makes it a good choice for waterside planting.
