Cedrus deodara Vinks Gold

Common Name:
Vink’s Gold Deodar Cedar

Description:
Cedrus deodara ‘Vink’s Gold’ is a striking, slow-growing conifer known for its brilliant golden-yellow foliage and graceful, arching branches. This semi-dwarf variety of the Deodar Cedar emerges with bright golden needles in spring, which soften to a warm golden-green as the seasons progress. It forms an elegant, pyramidal shape when young, eventually developing a broader, more spreading habit with age. Thriving in well-drained soils and full sun, it is drought-tolerant once established and requires minimal maintenance. This eye-catching tree is perfect as a specimen plant, in mixed borders, or as a focal point in rock gardens and smaller landscapes.
