Cedrus atlantica 'Glauca pendula' (Weeping blue atlas cedar)
Cedrus atlantica 'Glauca' pendula is an evergreen tree with bluish-green foliage with a weeping habit. It is often used as a specimen plant especially on lawns where it can grow without being crowded, away from walks, streets, and sidewalks so branches will not have to be pruned.
The weeping blue atlas cedar is heat and drought tolerant, and should be planted in average to well drained, moist soil, in full sun.
