Cedrus atlantica 'Glauca Pendula' Standard
Origin: France. Very picturesque conifer with flexuous weeping branches. Two forms are available: • grafted at the base with weeping branches along the whole length of the upright trunk which, when it reaches a certain height however, bends down towards the ground; • grafted at the top on a trunk of C. atlantica at a height that varies from 1m to 2-2.50m. In this case it will form a crown with the main branches spreading out and overlapping, while the secondary branches droop towards the ground. Sometimes only one main branch is allowed to grow which if suitably trained can spread out for 10m or more. In any case the final shape is attractive and never gives the impression of being artificial but instead it seems to be a spontaneous quirk of nature. Leaves, cones and growing requirements the same as Cedrus atlantica ‘Glauca’.
