Deodar Cedar – Cedrus deodara Seeds | 30 Seeds | Himalayan Cedar Evergreen Tree | Fragrant Ornamental Conifer

Add timeless elegance to your landscape with Deodar Cedar (Cedrus deodara), also known as Himalayan Cedar. Native to the Himalayas, this graceful evergreen conifer is admired for its soft, fragrant needles and beautifully drooping branch tips. Young trees form a broad pyramidal shape and mature into wide-spreading specimens with a flat-topped crown and pendulous branching that may sweep toward the ground.

Deodar Cedar typically grows 40–70 feet within its first 25 years and may grow much taller in ideal conditions. Its dark gray-green to blue-green needles grow in clusters and remain on the tree for several years. Upright cones mature to reddish-brown, adding ornamental interest. From a distance, this tree appears dense and finely textured, making it an outstanding specimen tree for large lawns and estates.

Heat, drought (once established), and urban tolerant, Deodar Cedar is versatile in the landscape. It can be used as a shade tree, windbreak, privacy screen, or pruned hedge. Its elegant structure also makes it a favorite for bonsai enthusiasts.
