Chamaecyparis nootkatensis 'Pendula'
Nootka False Cypress or Alaska Cedar
SOLD OUT: Available Autumn 2012
Description
An evergreen tree native to North America, Chamaecyparis nootkatensis 'Pendula' has elegant cascades of flattened, soft-green foliage and once established it is one of the most striking specimen conifers. We find that they do best when grown on a cane for the first few years to support the main leader.
This can then be removed once the tree is more mature. A superb bonsai plant and a handsome specimen garden tree!
