Looking for a fast-growing, low-maintenance cedar tree to enhance your landscape? Look no further than Cedrus deodara, also known as Deodar or Himalayan Cedar. This evergreen coniferous tree has a graceful, horizontal, weeping habit with pendulous branches that make it a fine specimen plant. It can tolerate drought and sun, making it perfect for the southern and west coast regions of the United States. Additionally, Deodar is highly sought-after as a building material due to its rot-resistant character and close grain, which is capable of taking a high polish. This wood has been historically used to construct religious temples and in landscaping around temples. Deodar thrives in most soils, including dry and chalky sites, and is widely grown as an ornamental tree in parks and large gardens. If you're looking to add a divine touch to your landscape, gorw a Deodar Cedar today!
