Description
Weeping Blue Atlas Cedar is a slow-growing weeping conifer tree with a natural sprawling horizontal habit that can easily be trained upright. The pendulous branchlets have short tufts of silvery blue needle-like foliage that creates a waterfall like effect. Prefers full sun and rich, moist, well-drained acidic soils. Heat and drought tolerant once established, and can tolerate alkaline soils.
