The Story

Plant Bio

Cupressus nootkatensis is a medium-sized evergreen coniferous tree native to northwestern North America. It features flattened sprays of dark green foliage on drooping branchlets, giving it a graceful, weeping appearance. 'Green Arrow' is an extremely narrow, fastigiate cultivar with a strong central leader and strictly weeping side branches that cling tightly to the trunk. Its dramatic, exclamation-point form makes it a striking vertical accent.

Uses & Benefits:

Its extremely narrow, weeping form provides a powerful vertical element and architectural interest in the landscape year-round. It serves as a dramatic focal point.

Perfect for tight spaces, narrow side yards, or as a vertical accent in foundation plantings where a traditional tree would not fit. Can be used to create a very tall, narrow screen.

The dense, weeping foliage provides excellent shelter and potential nesting sites for small birds, protecting them from predators and harsh weather.

Planting

How to Grow

Select a site with full sun to light shade and moist, well-drained soil.
Dig a hole two to three times the width of the container.
Ensure the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil.
Backfill with native soil, firming gently.
Water deeply and consistently for the first year to establish roots.
Mulch around the base to keep roots cool and moist.

Pro Tip

Give it space to grow tall; its narrow footprint allows it to fit in tight spots where other trees won't.
