Seasonal Interest

In spring, fresh green needles emerge creating a soft, feathery appearance. Throughout summer, the weeping branches provide elegant structure and movement. Come autumn, the entire tree transforms into a cascade of golden-yellow before the needles drop, revealing the beautiful branching structure in winter.

Growing & Care

Thrives in full sun to partial shade in well-drained soil. Hardy and low maintenance once established. The half-standard form provides an attractive clear stem with the weeping canopy above, making it ideal for underplanting or positioning in borders.

Garden Uses

Perfect as a specimen tree, focal point in mixed borders, or container plant for patios. The weeping habit makes it particularly effective near water features or as an architectural accent in contemporary gardens.
