Cedrus deodara Bush

Origin: Himalayas, Afghanistan. Conifer with pyramidal habit, wide and regular with very dense growth. The top is bent and the secondary branches weeping which makes the tree look pendulous and very graceful in its splendour. Evergreen needles, 2-5cm long, vivid green with bluish tones that contrast with the new growth which is pale green. Male cones are 5-12cm long, dark red before they release the pollen; the female cones are larger and have a rounded tip. Grows well in all types of average fertile soil but prefers slightly acid soil. Does not tolerate excessive humidity and long periods of frost (not suitable to Central Europe).
