Why Plant Van Den Akker Weeping Alaskan Cedar?
Van Den Akker Weeping Alaskan Cedar is one of those trees that makes people stop mid-walk and say, “Wait… what is that?” Its branches drape in soft, cascading curtains, giving it an elegant, almost architectural look without feeling stiff. The foliage holds a cool blue-green tone, so it reads calm and composed year-round, and in winter, the weeping form becomes even more dramatic when everything around it is bare.
It’s a perfect choice when you want an evergreen that doesn’t just fill space, it creates atmosphere. Graceful, vertical, and unforgettable.
How to use Van Den Akker Weeping Alaskan Cedar in the landscape?
Plant it as a specimen where the weeping form can be seen from multiple angles, near an entry approach, at a prominent corner, or as a focal point at the end of a walkway or long view. Because it stays narrow, it’s excellent for tighter planting beds where a wider evergreen would feel crowded. Use it against a darker evergreen backdrop to highlight the draping branches, and keep the base planting low and simple so the “curtain” effect remains the main feature. In groupings, space trees so each can show its natural form while still creating a layered privacy screen.

Shipping Delays:
From time to time, Bower & Branch Growers may determine to delay order shipment based on various factors for plant health. Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.
How Does Sizing Work?
The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)
Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.
All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
