Atlanta Botanical Garden. Summer 2003. One of the finest of all weeping
conifers which together with juniper toughness makes it an asset. Of course,
this species is not happy in all the hot, humid climates or very cold ones so it

waterfall look. LCH.

id: Dirr says he thinks this is a rename of older 'Pendula'.
However there is no evidence to tie the
id: two names and clones together. Weeping and filiform mutants
are common in this species and

they are likely a parallel mutation but not
