Blue Atlas Cedar

Cedrus atlantica 'Glauca'

أرز أطلسي أزرق

The silver-blue selection of the Atlas cedar, and one of the strongest colour statements available in a large conifer. The foliage holds its blue through the whole year, reading almost metallic against a stone wall.

Blooming season: Non-showy; cones mature in autumn
Flower colour: Non-showy
How to care: Full sun is essential; in shade the blue washes out to a dull green. Free-draining soil, no waterlogging, and shelter from harsh drying wind while young. Water deeply through the establishment years, then sparingly. Give it room to spread properly rather than planting close to a building. Prune only for damage, keeping the leader intact.

Available in small, medium, large. Exact pot size and plant height are confirmed when we reply to your order.

Cedar of Lebanon

Cedrus libani

The national tree, and the one specimen that changes a piece of land permanently. Young trees are narrow and upright; it is only with decades that the flat, layered canopy everyone recognises begins to form. Plant it for the people who come after you.

Atlas Cedar

Cedrus atlantica

The North African cousin of the Lebanese cedar, faster to establish and more tolerant of heat and poor soil. A strong choice where you want cedar presence sooner than a Cedrus libani will deliver it.

Weeping Blue Atlas Cedar

Cedrus atlantica 'Glauca Pendula'

A living sculpture rather than a conventional tree. Trained over an arch or allowed to cascade down a bank, its weeping blue branches take whatever shape you give them, and no two specimens ever look alike.

If you are planning a full garden, an orchard, or a landscape project, we can design and install it rather than supply it plant by plant.
