Weeping Alaskans

Here are a couple of photos of the Weeping Alaskan Falsecypress we just got in. The 6' & 7' are Chamaecyparis noot. 'Green Arrow', a nice, skinny form. The 9' are 'Pendula', still not that wide and both varieties have a beautiful, graceful appearance as you can tell by the 6's swaying with the breeze when these pictures were taken. Enjoy.
