| Positive | On Sep 5, 2015, RosemaryK from Lexington, MA (Zone 6a) wrote: I purchased a cultivar called "Blue Cascade." I believe it may be a somewhat more dwarf, that is, slow growing, form. The foliage is a somewhat lighter shade of blue than the typical glauca pendula. The nursery guy suggested growing in part shade, since full sun might burn and bleach this delicate color. Some sites that I trust identify its width at ten years to be about six feet. |
| Positive | On Mar 15, 2014, coriaceous from ROSLINDALE, MA wrote: This can be an extraordinarily beautiful tree, if well sited and well trained. It can form blue waterfalls of foliage, weeping down over a steep slope or a retaining wall, spilling over boulders, or after training up onto a pergola. |

| Positive | On May 22, 2005, doss from Stanford, CA (Zone 9b) wrote: This tree needs room to spread and can become really huge - 30 feet across. If you want it smaller, it needs special attention to training. If you have the room for it, or the willingness to keep it in line from an early age, it's an incredibly beautiful tree. |
