Cedrus atlantica 'Glauca Pendula'

Blue in more ways than one, the weeping cedar tends to bow itself or cast itself full length on the ground for its crying, thus making an interesting sprawl of needle-y branches. Those can dangle over the edges of raised beds or rock gardens or be trained over arbors and pergolas.

However, if you prefer your cedar less prostrate, you can support its trunk with a stake up to a certain height—shaping that trunk into serpentine coils if you like. You then may choose to let the branches cascade from that height for a weeping willow or waterfall effect.

With such support, the slow-growing cedar eventually can reach 20 feet in USDA zones 6-9. If it is left on the ground, that height will become length instead. Adding to its highly decorative effect are upward-pointing, tan, barrel-shaped cones.

Culture:  Atlas cedars prefer full sun and well-drained, acidic soil. Once fully established, they are drought tolerant and should be pruned in winter.

We ship two ways. One is "Local Delivery". That means one, or more, of our crew members personally delivers your order in a Bay Gardens truck or van to your home. This option is only available in certain zip codes throughout NY, NJ & CT.

The other method is "Common Carrier Shipping". Only certain plants can be sent this way. Usually ones that are under 4 feet tall. When we ship this way, one of our crew members boxes up your order and then sends it to your home via UPS or FedEx.

For more information on our shipping methods, browse our delivery pages in the "ABOUT" tab above.

Plants with listed heights (i.e. 4-5 ft) are measured from the top of the root ball to the top of the plant. Basically, what will be exposed out of the ground after planting. We do not count the root ball or container in the tree size.

Many of our plants come in the plastic Nursery Containers in which they are grown. These containers come in various sizes. Typically, the larger the container, the more mature and larger the plant is. The containers are measured by the "Gallon". More often than not, the larger the gallon size, the larger the plant.
