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.

Very dedicated and professional. We are happy with the way they planted 14 trees for us. 11 green giants, 2 white pines and 1 Norway spruce.
Picked up my plants-ostrich ferns and blue ice amsonia without any problems! Wonderful, responsive owners! Will be buying from them in the future!
Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!
Really great website, communication and installation. Very happy customer and would recommend them.
They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.
I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!
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!
