The Serpentine Blue Atlas Cedar is a trained specimen of the weeping blue Atlas cedar that has a twisting trunk shaped into a repeating ‘S’ pattern, with pendulous cascading branches. The evergreen foliage is beautiful cascading stems with tight clusters of dramatic silver-blue needles, and the final shape of the tree is up to you. It can be grown as a free-standing lawn or bed specimen, or grown up a wall or trellis, where it can be spread out as you choose. It will reach 12 to 15 feet tall if allowed to, with as spread as much as you wish. A great opportunity for personal creativity to flourish in your garden.
The Serpentine Blue Atlas Cedar is easy to grow in all moderate zones, and in any well-drained soil. Once established it is very drought resistant, and it is almost never bothered by pests or diseases. Young branches need support and training, as they will naturally cascade vertically downwards, but older stems that have thickened are self-supporting. Protect from wind and snow breakage by attaching to a strong stake, wall or trellis.
