This striking ornamental conifer is a weeping variety with a serpentine growth habit, forming cascading, draped branches that create dramatic visual interest in landscaping. Hardy in zones 6 to 9, it prefers temperate climates but can tolerate cold winters and moderate summer heat. With evergreen needles in a silvery-blue hue, its foliage retains year-round color, complementing gardens and other plantings. Reaching a mature height of 10 to 15 feet with a weight proportional to its structure, this tree thrives in well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soils. It grows in a somewhat irregular shape, lending itself beautifully to unique or artistic gardens. Resistant to deer and drought once established, it provides excellent contrast and texture in any setting.
