Cedrus deodara

Common Name:
Himalayan Cedar

Description:
Cedrus deodara, commonly known as the Himalayan Cedar, is a majestic evergreen conifer renowned for its graceful, pendulous branches and soft, blue-green needle-like foliage. Native to the western Himalayas, this fast-growing tree forms a striking pyramidal shape, making it a popular choice for large gardens, parks, and avenues. It thrives in well-drained soil and prefers full sun, showing excellent tolerance to drought, frost, and air pollution once established. In autumn, it produces small, barrel-shaped cones that add further ornamental interest. With its elegant, weeping form and impressive stature, the Himalayan Cedar is an excellent feature tree, providing year-round beauty and a strong architectural presence in the landscape.
