Sanders Blue Himalayan Cedar

Sanders Blue Himalayan Cedar is a beautiful and striking specimen tree with a graceful pyramidal habit, near-horizontal branches and weeping tips. It grows rapidly to be 12 feet tall within 10 years, ultimately reaching 50 feet, with a broad, rounded crown. This is one of the bluest of all cedars, with bright powder-blue new growth turning silvery steel-blue for the rest of the year. Grow it as a spectacular lawn specimen, alone or in a group; grow it in the corner of your yard, or plant in a row for screening.

• The bluest of the blue cedars – bright powder-blue spring growth
• Spectacular specimen tree with pyramidal habit and weeping branch tips
• Fast-growing, at least 12 inches a year
• Grows well in all soils and in urban conditions too
• Cold resistant all through zone 6

Full sun will give the best color to Sanders Blue Himalayan Cedar, which grows in almost all well-drained soils, from sand to clay, and acid to alkaline. It even thrives in urban conditions, and is generally free of pests or diseases, and untroubled by deer. Easy to grow, just keep an eye on the leading growth, and if you see two shoots, cut back the more outside one, to keep a single trunk for as long as possible.
