About this Tree
Bringing an air of ancient mystique to the landscape, the Deodar Cedar is a sweeping evergreen whose name translates from ancient Sanskrit as the "timber of the gods." Its soft, silvery-blue needles and gracefully weeping branches create a romantic silhouette that keeps the yard looking vibrant all winter long. Once its deep root system settles into the soil, it becomes exceptionally drought-tolerant, making it a low-maintenance, high-impact choice for a dramatic focal point or privacy windbreak.
