I see alot of these and dont know what they are. If you wonder why we have snow, We had a snow storm. Heres the photo taken in first of february. Its the big funny looking one.
Looks like one of the pendulous foliage cultivars of Nootka Cypress, Callitropsis nootkatensis (formerly Chamaecyparis nootkatensis, and still commonly sold under this name)
Xanthocyparis nookatensis if you have been told why Callitropsis nookatensis is bogus. Anyway, look at nurseries for weeping Alaska cedar.
Little, D. P., Schwarzbach, A. E., Adams, R. P. & Hsieh, Chang-Fu. 2004. The circumscription and phylogenetic relationships of Callitropsis and the newly described genus Xanthocyparis (Cupressaceae). American Journal of Botany 91 (11): 1872–1881. BTW, it isn't bogus; the name Xanthocyparis has been proposed for conservation over Callitropsis, but that won't be voted on until the next Botanical Congress in 6 years time, and the result of the vote is not a foregone conclusion. Until the vote is held, Callitropsis is the valid name under the ICBN
Actually, it isn't a valid name. Since my knowledge of this matter was obtained through a private discussion I have never announced the details to the world on the internet, figuring it was up to the source to approach it as they saw fit.
