Deodar Cedar (Cedrus Deodara)

  Deodar Cedar known botanically as Cedrus deodara is an evergreen tree that can reach 70 feet high and up to 40 feet wide. It is a popular tree as a specimen in any landscape that provides year-round interest and is fast growing, making it a great windbreak or a natural privacy screen in your garden. The Deodar Cedar is particularly stunning when planted in groups of three to five. They can thrive in a variety of moist, well-drained soils including loam, sand and clay and are drought tolerant and love full sun. Male trees produce catkins that hold copious amounts of pollen, which is spread in the early spring. Female trees have 3-5 inch egg-shaped cones that shatter, releasing the seeds of the tree.
