Comments:
‘Pendula’ is a weeping cultivar that typically grows to 35-50' tall. It originated in England in about 1836. Lots of variation in shape between specimens. It typically is seen in two different forms: (1) upright central trunk that droops at the top with major branches extending outward horizontally before drooping sharply downward, sometimes reaching the ground, and (2) broad crown with spreading main branches and drooping side branches. Cultivar name comes from the Latin word meaning "hanging down" in obvious reference to the drooping plant branches.
Best grown in deep, rich, moist but well-drained soils in full sun to part shade.
