Comments (8)i doubt they will ever live up to your expectation.. return them ... for no other reason ... did you mean aurea ... a yellow version .. yes.. any yellow plant typically needs a lot of sun to yellow properly .. they wont die in shade.. they just wont yellow properly.. if too little.. what is enough is really hard to say ... you would have to find out and see.. but see above ... glauca.. the blue.. wouldnt care ... as long as there was enough light.. to not thin over the decades ... regardless... i think you can do a lot better than 6 nootka ... i have no clue what your project is... but you could mail order some superlative plants .. and really make a statement in your yard ... well ... except for the shade... what is the project??? ken...See MoreAlaskan Weeping Cypress
Comments (10)Water meters in Seattle are computerized - the only time I've ever seen utility workers at a household meter is to clean out one that was clogged with silt and debris, etc. And I doubt you have much to fear from the tree roots disturbing the piping - what you are describing is a very common planting situation. There are all manner of large trees in front yards all over the city and they continue to be planted on a daily basis. The concern about tree roots and underground plumbing seems to be centered with either irrigation or sewage pipes - water lines are big, hefty pipes. If you have concerns regarding the age of your pipes, call Seattle Public Utilites - they will know. Similar concerns regarding foundation issues are largely unfounded as well - if the foundation is structurally sound, the tree/root system will have no adverse impact on it. And the roots of this tree are not overly aggressive in any regard. And while they can get tall, I've not found the growth of these trees to be overly rampant. A line of 6 planted nearly 25 years ago is only in the 30' range. IME, the very narrowly weeping selections like 'Green Arrow', 'Van den Akker' or 'Strict Weeping' seldom ever exceed 30' in height and are immensely suitable to be planted relatively close to a structure. And these tend to be the types of cultivars most often offered in local nurseries and most frequently planted in urban gardens, specifically because of their narrow profile and modest size....See MoreAlaskan Weeping Cedar (Chamaecyparis nootkatensis pendula)

Comments (5)We live in zone 5 moved a similar size weeping cedar to put our pool in three years ago. It did what yours is doing the first year the second year was better and this year it looks good still not as full or lush, but alive for sure. We were told to not feed right after moving, but to let the tree be. Don’t give up on it for at least another year...See Moregardener365
