Design with this plant

Overview

The 'Green Arrow' Weeping Alaskan Yellow Cedar (Chamaecyparis nootkatensis) boasts a remarkably narrow, columnar form, reaching up to 25 feet in height while maintaining a svelte 3 feet width. Its pendulous branches, cloaked in dark green foliage, elegantly droop, providing unique vertical interest. Hardy to Zone 4, it thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers moist, well-drained soils, making it an exquisite accent for confined spaces or as a privacy screen.
