Cedrus deodara Mountain Beauty

Common Name:
Mountain Beauty Deodar Cedar

Description:
Cedrus deodara ‘Mountain Beauty’ is a compact, semi-dwarf form of the Deodar Cedar, prized for its graceful, arching branches and soft, silvery-green foliage. This evergreen conifer has a dense, pyramidal shape when young, gradually spreading with age to create a striking landscape feature. Hardy and adaptable, it thrives in well-drained soils and prefers full sun, making it an excellent choice for gardens, rockeries, and larger containers. Once established, it is drought-tolerant and requires minimal maintenance. Its elegant form and fine-textured needles provide year-round interest, making it an ideal specimen tree for smaller spaces.
