The Serpentine Blue Atlas Cedar (Cedrus atlantica 'Glauca Pendula', trained serpentine-style) is a show-stopping evergreen prized for its unique, winding form and shimmering silver-blue needles. Carefully trained during its early years, this tree develops an irregular, snake-like habit that arches, dips, and stretches with elegant whimsy. Each specimen is truly one-of-a-kind. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, offering both strong structure and soft color year-round. Whether used as a focal point in modern or classic designs, its unusual shape brings instant character to gardens and entryways.
