The Gemstone Deodar Cedar is a slow-growing tree that can reach a height of 30 to 40 feet with a spread of 15 to 20 feet. It has a pyramidal shape when young, but as it matures, it develops a more irregular and picturesque form. The foliage consists of soft, needle-like leaves that are arranged in clusters along the branches.
This cedar variety prefers full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. It is relatively drought-tolerant once established but will benefit from regular watering during dry periods. Pruning is generally not necessary, but you can remove any dead or damaged branches to maintain its overall health and appearance.
The Gemstone Deodar Cedar is a stunning addition to any garden or landscape, providing year-round interest with its unique foliage and graceful form. It can be used as a specimen tree, in group plantings, or as a focal point in a garden. Its blue-green color adds a touch of elegance and tranquility to outdoor spaces
