Deodor Cedar

COMMON NAME Deodor Cedar
BOTANICAL NAME * Cedrus deodora
ZONE 7-8
SIZE 40 – 70’ ht, after 30 years, but can eventually reach over 150’. There are some dwarf cultivars that are small shrubs. SEE BELOW.
FOLIAGE Needle evergreen. Very soft textured appearance.
FRUIT Solitary cones 3-4” long
GROWING CONDITIONS Full Sun. Well-drained, dry location.
FAVORITE CULTIVARS ‘Shalimar’ with blue-green needle color, supposedly superior to ‘Kashmir’, though ‘Kashmir’ may be easier to find. ‘Electra Blue’ for a more intense blue hue. ‘Aurea’ has golden variegation. ‘Prostrata’ is an excellent dwarf form staying below 3’ ht, but can spread to 8 ft or more.
NOTES Somewhat Deer Resistant. Note the difference in the 2 photos of Cedrus deodora ‘Prostrata’. Both were sold under the same name, but the habit is considerably different. At least ask for a photo before you purchase.

 

* A particular plant will have only 1 botanical name. Unfortunately, a particular plant may have several common names or it may share a common name with another plant. Whenever possible, use the botanical name.
