Deodar Cedar – Cedrus deodara Seeds | 240 Seeds | Himalayan Cedar Evergreen Tree | Fragrant Ornamental Conifer

Create a timeless evergreen landscape with Deodar Cedar (Cedrus deodara), also known as Himalayan Cedar. Native to the Himalayas, this elegant conifer is prized for its soft, fragrant needles and gracefully drooping branch tips. When young, it forms a broad pyramidal shape and matures into a wide-spreading tree with a flat-topped crown and sweeping horizontal branches that may extend toward the ground.

Deodar Cedar typically grows 40–70 feet within its first 25 years and can become much taller over time in ideal climates. Its dark gray-green to blue-green needles grow in clusters and remain on the tree for several years, giving it a dense, fine-textured appearance. Upright cones mature to reddish-brown, adding ornamental interest.

This moderate-growing evergreen is heat, drought (once established), and urban tolerant. It makes an exceptional specimen tree for large properties and is also suitable for shade, windbreaks, privacy screens, or pruned hedges. Its elegant structure and needle clusters also make it a favorite choice for bonsai enthusiasts.
