Thuja occidentalis Pendula

Common Name: Weeping Arborvitae

Description:
Thuja occidentalis 'Pendula', commonly known as Weeping Arborvitae, is a striking evergreen conifer with gracefully arching branches and soft, feathery green foliage. Its weeping habit creates a unique, sculptural appearance, making it an excellent choice for feature planting in gardens or as a focal point in landscapes. This slow-growing variety maintains its vibrant green colour year-round, sometimes developing a slight bronze hue in winter. Thriving in well-drained soils, 'Pendula' prefers full sun to part shade and is highly resistant to cold, wind, and urban pollution. With its cascading form and minimal maintenance requirements, it is well-suited to Melbourne gardens, adding elegance and texture to any setting.
