Taxodium distichum 'Pendulum' – Taxodium distichum 'Pendulum'

View prices and availability
Deciduous conifer with a broad, weeping crown. This tree does not naturally produce a central leader and all twigs hang downwards. The eventual height is therefore strongly dependent on the graft height. As the species is used as rootstock, the bark is therefore like that of T. distichum: reddish brown, fibrous, grooved. The twigs are green first and turn reddish brown when lignified. The dark green needles are spread out on short shoots. In autumn the needles turn orange-brown to reddish brown. They fall off with the short shoots. The origin of this cultivar is unclear and this tree is probably identical to ‘Pendulum Novum’. ‘Pendulum’ also strongly resembles ‘Cascade Falls’. Due to the lack of a central leader, this tree is not suitable as an avenue or street tree, but it is very fine in parks and gardens. Prefers to grow on moist to wet soil, although it can tolerate a moderately dry soil.
