Cedrus atlantica 'Glauca'
Reaching towering heights of about 40 to 60 feet, and sometimes even more in the right conditions, the Blue Atlas Cedar is characterized by its majestic and pyramidal growth habit. Its long, slender needles are arranged in clusters and are a captivating silvery-blue to blue-green color, creating a year-round display of elegant foliage. Inconspicuous cones may appear, which are a lovely addition to the tree's ornamental value. The Blue Atlas Cedar thrives in full sun and well-draining soil and is known for its drought tolerance once established.
This tree is a favored choice for creating focal points in large landscapes, lining driveways, and adding a sense of grandeur to gardens and parks. Its adaptability to various soil types and its ability to withstand urban environments contribute to its popularity as a majestic and enduring evergreen tree that adds both beauty and stature to outdoor spaces.
