Cupressus nootkatensis 'Strict Weeper' is a tall, extremely narrow tree form of Nootka cypress with foliage hanging down directly against the trunk with only an occasional aberrant branch. This tree is pendulous to the extreme. There are other narrow weeping Nootka cypress, such as 'Green Arrow' and 'Jubilee'; with 'Green Arrow' being most like 'Strict Weeper' and 'Jubilee' being wider than the two. But strictly speaking, 'Strict Weeper' is the skinniest of the three.
This cultivar originated as a seedling selected in the early 2000s by Iseli Nursery, inc., Boring, Oregon.
