Chamaecyparis nootkatensis 'Green Arrow'
Green Arrow Weeping Alaska-Cedar
An exceptionally narrow, strongly weeping evergreen prized for its arrow-straight vertical form and cascading, rope-like branches that hug the trunk. The rich deep green foliage holds color year-round, giving this cultivar a bold, architectural presence while occupying very little ground space. It is one of the best choices where dramatic height is desired in tight spaces.
