Weeping Alaska Cedar is a graceful evergreen conifer tree with a pyramidal habit and pendulous branching that sweeps up at the tips. The flattened splays of grey green to blue green foliage drape from the branches and hold their color in winter. Prefers part sun and moist, well-drained soil. Moderate drought tolerance.
Syn. with Xanthocyparis nootkatensis and Cupressus nootkaensis.
