Cupressus Macrocarpa Pendula (Weeping Monterey Cypress)

This beautiful weeping, evergreen tree was discovered in the 1950s at Glencormac, County Wicklow where it now stands 20 metres tall and only 8 metres across.

Moist well drained soils. Full sun, any aspect and good in windy spots.

As with all woody plants, plant high, exposing as much of the taper at the base of the trunk as possible. Allowing soil to accumulate round the base of a tree can be fatal. Keep very well watered when first planted.
