Deodar Cedar – Cedrus deodara Seeds | 60 Seeds | Himalayan Cedar Evergreen Tree | Fragrant Ornamental Conifer

Bring graceful evergreen beauty to your 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 sweeping, pendulous branch tips. When young, trees display a broad pyramidal shape, maturing into wide-spreading specimens with a flat-topped crown and gracefully drooping branches that may extend toward the ground.

Deodar Cedar typically grows 40–70 feet within its first 25 years and can reach even greater heights over time in ideal conditions. 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 seasonal interest.

Heat, drought (once established), and urban tolerant, this moderate-growing evergreen makes an excellent shade tree, windbreak, privacy screen, or hedge when pruned. It is also well-suited for bonsai cultivation thanks to its attractive needle clusters and natural form.
