Looks like a Xanthocyparis nootkatensis species to me.
By some it's named as Cupressus nootkatensis...

Thanks....I thought it may have been but it's colour overall is a darker green than I have ever seen with 'pendula' and it grows frightfully slow....less than 6"/yr.

Yep, Nootka Cypress Cupressus nootkatensis

PS Coniferjoy - even the person who first named it 'Xanthocyparis' now accepts it is Cupressus ;-)

Resin thanks for this info.

The only problem for me as a nurseryman is that I'll get big troubles to sell this species under Cupressus.
My customers are just familiar that Chamaecyparis nootkatensis is renamed in Xanthocyparis nootkatensis and now I've to tell them it's renamed in Cupressus nootkatensis...they don't buy that...

Since when are nurserymen deciding which is the valid name of a taxon?

The Nootka Cypress was first described as Cupressus nootkatensis. Spach made the mistake to transfer it to Chamaecyparis which is a nonsense according to his own description of the genus. Then Farjon transfered it again to X. because he has a prejudice : he wants to increase the number of genera and diminish the number of species. Like if taxonomy is a game and is not based on unbiased observations. For something serious which has never been overrun, read the following article :

Here is a link that might be useful: NOOTKA CYPRESS: CHAMAECYPARIS OR CUPRESSUS ?

I didn't mention that nurserymen are deciding which name is valid as a taxon.
They are told by species specialists to use Cupressus nootkatensis now because that's what it seems to be.

The same happened in the past with Biota orientalis which turned into Thuja orientalis and now it's Platycladus orientalis...

hey smiv ...

odds are.. if you want to buy it ..

you will find it under Cham nootka ... and none of the names above ...

if you have any experience rooting conifers.. they root rather freely ... meaning if you got 10 cuttings.. odds are.. a few would take...

the only thing i dont understand.. is if your two pix are two different plants .. ??? and as such. you require two answers ...

ken

Ken....I see where there might be some confusion. Two trees, same species and two photos of said trees.
