Description
Cedrus deodara
The Himalayan or Deodar Cedar makes a truly spectacular specimen. Its spreading branches form a large conical tree which demands plenty of space to be appreciated at its best. Cloaked in evergreen needle-like foliage, each branch tip has a gently weeping habit that makes a majestic silhouette in the landscape. Mature specimens may bear upright, oval shaped cones which slowly mature from green to brown, and can reach up to 12cm (5) long. Once established, Cedrus deorara requires virtually no maintenance. Awarded a prestigious RHS AGM, this regal conifer makes a fine specimen tree for larger gardens. Height: 40m (130′). Spread: 10m (30′).
