Deodar Cedar
Cedrus Deodara is widely grown as an ornamental tree, often planted in parks and smaller gardens for its drooping foliage. It has a small, tight, irregularly mounding habit. In spring, it produces ivory-white new growth which turns creamy-yellow in summer. Makes an ideal topiary specimen. A wonderful conifer for smaller spaces, rock gardens and containers.

Planting young plants
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Not a particularly fussy tree it will survive almost anyywhere, though like a lot of conifers it will not do well on very wet ground. It is prone to losing some needles when planted, though these will grow them back within a year.
