Cedrus libani 'Beacon Hill' Similar to the weeping Atlas Cedars, Cedrus libani 'Beacon Hill' is a dwarf weeping conifer offered by Kigi Nursery. Graceful weeper, the branching structure is more lateral than the Atlas Cedar with a much heavier interior and the actual height and width depend on its training. The foliage has a light-green hue, and at maturity 'Beacon Hill' will be a dense mound that will never outgrow its place in the garden.
