Chamaecyparis nootkatensis 'Pendula' is a conical evergreen tree with weeping branches and aromatic foliage. It is an eye-catching specimen for gardens, parks, and large landscapes.

Caring for Chamaecyparis nootkatensis, commonly known as Nootka Cypress or Alaska Cedar, involves providing it with the right growing conditions and regular maintenance. This evergreen conifer prefers full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil. Plant it in a location with good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases. Water the tree deeply and infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Once established, Nootka Cypress is relatively drought-tolerant. Mulching around the base of the tree helps retain moisture and suppress weeds. Prune the tree sparingly to maintain its natural shape and remove any dead or damaged branches. Fertilization is typically not necessary unless the tree shows signs of nutrient deficiency. Nootka Cypress is generally resistant to pests and diseases but monitor for any signs of trouble. With proper care, your Chamaecyparis nootkatensis will provide you with graceful evergreen foliage and become a beautiful addition to your landscape.
