Growing up to 12-18 meters in height, it features needle-like leaves of a soft, bluish-green hue and displays beautiful barrel-shaped cones.
The Deodar Cedar thrives best in full sunlight and prefers well-drained soil. With its graceful shape and striking foliage, it serves as an appealing focal point in large gardens, enhancing any landscape with its unique Himalayan charm.

The Deodar Cedar *Cedrus deodara* stands as one of the most impressive conifers you can grow, bringing stunning Himalayan grandeur to British gardens. This magnificent evergreen typically grows to 20-30 metres in cultivation, though some examples can reach even greater heights. What makes it special are those gorgeous drooping branches that sweep downwards so elegantly, particularly on younger specimens, forming a beautiful cascading outline that’s both striking and peaceful. The soft blue-green needles grow in thick clusters along each branch, giving the whole tree a lovely feathery look from afar.
The tree’s shape changes as it gets older, becoming more spreading and flat-topped, developing real presence wherever it grows. Come autumn, you’ll spot the fascinating cones: tiny reddish-brown male catkins alongside the bigger barrel-shaped female cones that sit upright like little candles on the branches. These cones often stay put for years, keeping the tree looking good throughout all seasons. The Deodar Cedar brings more than just good looks; it carries centuries of history and meaning. Native peoples have long held it sacred, using it for building and traditional remedies for thousands of years. After arriving in Britain during the 1830s, it’s become a treasured sight in countless stately gardens and public parks, loved for its exotic charm and year-round greenery.

The Deodar Cedar is relatively low-maintenance once established, making it suitable for gardeners of various experience levels. It thrives in full sun but can tolerate partial shade. This tree prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soil but is adaptable to various soil types as long as they’re not waterlogged. Young trees benefit from regular watering, especially during dry spells, but once established, they’re quite drought-tolerant. Pruning isn’t usually necessary as the tree naturally develops an attractive shape. However, you can remove any dead or damaged branches in late winter if needed. The Deodar Cedar is generally resistant to pests and diseases, adding to its low-maintenance appeal. It’s important to choose the planting site carefully, considering the tree’s eventual size and spread. Protect young trees from strong winds until they’re well-established. With proper care, this magnificent tree can live for several hundred years, becoming a long-lasting feature in your landscape.
