Cedrus deodara #5

Description
The Deodar Cedar is a fine textured evergreen tree that makes a good substitute for white pine. Its form is broadly pyramidal when young, its pendulous branches become wide and spreading, as its central leader often dies out. Transplanted it easily if it has been root pruned. Plant it in a well-drained and somewhat dry, sunny location with protection from winds. Considered to be one of the most graceful conifers, it works well in landscape groupings or as a screen. This tree is resistant to damage by deer and is moderately salt tolerant.

Growing at a moderate rate of 13' to 24' per year, this tree typically reaches heights of 50', however, in their native habitats, they can reach heights of up to 150' to 200'.

With its lower branches removed, it makes an attractive, interesting street tree. Due to its messy habits, placement as a street tree should include considering the distance from sidewalks and street paving.
