This elegant weeping evergreen conifer showcases gracefully cascading branches clad in striking silvery-blue needles, creating a dramatic architectural presence in the landscape. Hardy in Zones 6-9, it thrives in full sun and prefers well-drained soils, tolerating both neutral and slightly acidic conditions. With a moderate growth rate, this conifer can reach heights of 10-15 feet and spreads its flowing branches to similar widths, depending on staking and shaping. It displays exceptional deer resistance, making it a low-maintenance feature in gardens. While not noted for fall color changes, its evergreen foliage ensures year-round appeal. This tree does not produce prominent or decorative fruit, focusing its ornamental value on its pendulous form and stunning needle coloration. Ideal as a specimen tree or focal point, it adapts well to rock gardens or cascading over walls for a striking visual effect.
