Chamaecyparis nootkatensis 'Glauca Pendula'
Choose Weeping Alaskan Cedar if you want one serious evergreen focal point, not a basic screen. The tradeoff: its weeping shape needs open space and can look awkward if squeezed into a tight foundation bed.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A | Its weeping habit gives the yard a clear focal point without needing a lot of surrounding plant clutter. |
| Growth Rate | B | It builds presence at a useful pace, but it is not the plant to buy for instant mass. |
| Maintenance | B+ | It usually needs little shaping, though lower weeping branches may need selective pruning near walks or drives. |
| Deer Resistance | A- | Deer rarely bother this tree; it is a dependable choice where deer are a concern, though young trunks can still be rubbed. |
| Small Space Fit | C | The narrow upright frame helps, but the hanging branches still need breathing room to look right. |
| Screening Value | C+ | It can block a view over time, but its irregular form is better for a specimen than a privacy wall. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend this as a single focal tree with open space around it, not as part of a crowded mixed planting where its shape gets lost.

Yes, if you respect its mature spread and keep it out of tight foundation beds.
It has strong deer resistance for our region, but no evergreen is guaranteed untouched.
Light cleanup is fine, but heavy shaping works against the natural weeping habit.

The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
Good size but tree seemed to be root bound. Tree budding late August.

Great job
Huge selection and fast delivery. All plants arrived in great condition.
Great prices and Unbelievable selection of big and small trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials! Nicest folks to work with. And local delivery is awesome! First time purchasing from this company, , and have already told friends, neighbors and family. The owner Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and yet laid back in a most friendly way. Mags in the office will help with any details. My all time BEST garden purchase EVER!
Progrowers was a great company to purchase from. Very fast delivery to my house. The tree seems to be in great condition and is so far doing really well!
