Deodar Cedar, (Himalayan Cedar), Cedrus deodara, 12 Tree Seeds Bonsai Fragrant

Description: Deodar Cedar, (Himalayan Cedar), Cedrus deodara, Tree Seeds Evergreen, Wildlife Shelter, Shade Tree, Screen/Hedge, Heat, Drought and Urban Tolerant, Bonsai Native to the Himalayas, Deodar Cedar is an evergreen conifer that is pyramidal when young, maturing to flat-topped trees with broad-spreading horizontal branching. Deodar Cedars are perhaps the most pendulous of the true cedars, with drooping branchlets and branching that is gracefully drooping at the tips. Lower branches typically remain on the tree as it ages, often touching the ground. This is a moderate growing tree that typically matures to 40 to 70 feet tall in its first 25 years. In its native habitat, trees reportedly will grow much taller over time, sometimes reaching 150 to 200 feet tall. Dark grayish-green needles to 1.25 inches long appear in clusters, with upright cones to 4 inches long. Most cultivars of Deodar Cedar will grow into large and handsome specimen trees that need plenty of room. Use these in the back of a large landscape so they can be seen in their entirety. From a distance, deodar is dense and plumose with a fine texture. With proper pruning Deodar Cedars can be maintained as a hedge.
