I can’t begin to imagine how many years it took to grow this evergreen tunnel at Planting Fields Arboretum in Oyster Bay, New York. Any guesses? Here’s a helpful tip: As far as I can tell, it’s all one plant–a weeping atlas cedar. Check out that trunk!

    I love it! It makes me think adults sometimes like being kids, since a kid would love this! (As does this adult.)

    Lovely old planting, like a walk in the woods without the woods. Some of my acreage is an old abandoned Christmas tree farm now becoming mixed but I have several very long paths through towering Norway spruce... wildlife paradise. I'd love to plant a Weeping Atlas Cedar but alas the deer would have it for breakfast, deer love soft needled evergreens, during hard winters they'll even nibble spruce.

    Absolutely Spec-tac-u-lar!!! Reminds me of a intoxicatingly scented, soft green waterfall. It blends so nicely with the natural landscape; when man-made plant design compliments nature so seemlessly, it is a truly successful landscape.
    Thanks so much, Michelle!
    P.S. to Deanneart: I live south of you in Colorado Springs - would love to see photos of your garden - are they posted online anywhere??
