How to Care for Weeping Blue Atlas Cedar Trees
- Cut back any larger plants that block out sunlight with pruning shears or move sun-inhibiting structures to maintain the full-sun to partial-shade environment blue atlas cedar trees need.
- Incorporate organic content, such as compost, into the top layer of soil to improve poor drainage.
Also, how do you train blue atlas cedar?
Train to grow as an arch and drape down to the ground, or allow it to grow only sideways to make a wall of cascading blue fountain foliage. To train weeping atlas cedar, a strong stake or support is necessary, plus material to fasten the tree to the support without damaging or girdling the plant.
