Description In the world of tall accent conifers Green Arrow Alaska Cedar stands out with its branches that lay directly against the trunk yielding an extremely narrow tree. An exceptional variety of our native Alaskan Yellow Cedar

  Morphology:
This is an ornamental garden conifer that shoot up to 30’ in height at maturity but still not exceed 4’-5’ in width. The foliage is blue-green in color.

  Adaptation:
‘Green Arrow’ is perfect for limited space, though would also appreciate an open area to accentuate its beautiful foliage. It would make an excellent choice up along side a double story home or building where the height of the tree complements that height of the structure.

Best in full sun; tolerates partial shade.

  Pests:
None reported.
