Putting aside the fact that I dislike weeping trees, and assuming you've
got the room for a tree that'll hit 150 ft, I think Cedrus libani is
a gorgeous tree... though with that space, I'd probably opt for C. libani
'Mt. St. Catherine', which is a slow-growing, upright, glaucous (white
needled) form. Will they make it in your part of the world?
