Chamaecyparis nootkatensis ‘Green Arrow’ (Nootka Cypress)

Quite majestic, Chamaecyparis nootkatensis ‘Green Arrow’ (Nootka Cypress) is a medium-sized, evergreen conifer of extremely narrow growth habit, forming an exclamation point in the landscape. Hanging from strictly weeping branches that hang closely against the trunk, are long trailing curtains of blue-gray-green foliage. When well sited, this Nootka Cypress is fast-growing and may easily add 20 in. (50 cm) in height per year. A pleasure to look at year-round, this elegant selection makes an excellent specimen conifer. Perfect for small gardens.

This evergreen conifer belongs to the Cupressaceae family, which includes well-known trees such as Italian Cypress, Leyland Cypress, Arizona Cypress, and Monterey Cypress, all valued for their distinctive forms, resilience, and ornamental appeal.
