Allow plenty of room for that future development when you plant it. It has a thick trunk and dark, deeply-furrowed bark, giving it real ‘presence’ in your garden. The needles are long and cover the stems densely, and they are green with a bluish hue. The main branches grow out in an irregular way, so each tree has a unique profile, and doesn’t develop into a neat cone of regular branches – it’s much more exciting than that. The Lebanon Cedar is the hardiest of all the true Cedars, and will grow in warmer parts of zone 5. There is confusion about the identity of this species – it is not a prostrate, weeping plant like the weeping blue Atlantic cedar, with which it is often confused.

Smaller side branches are pendulous
Green needles with a bluish hue
Wonderful specimen tree for a large lawn, or the back of big beds
Hardy even in zone 5

In full sun is the best place for your Weeping Blue Lebanon Cedar, and plant it in any well-drained soil. This species is less particular about soil than other cedars, and will grow happily in alkaline soils and in clay soils, but the soil must be well-drained. It also grows well in rocky, gravel soils, especially if you enrich them with compost to give your tree a good start. Established plants are very drought tolerant, and this tree thrives in areas that are hot and dry in summer. Deer don’t bother it and pests or diseases are rarely ever problems. Keep a single leading stem for as long as possible, shortening back any branches that are equal to or taller than the main stem. This will ensure a strong, storm-resistant tree that will live for many decades.]]> It grows into a large tree, reaching 30 feet or more in time, and spreading close to 20 feet across.

New growth is ivory-white and then turns creamy-yellow, giving this tree a wonderful and unique look that will stop everyone in their tracks. It grows at a moderate rate, about 8 inches a year, and slows as it matures, so you will have a wonderful upright cone of spreading branches, pendulous at their tips, on a compact tree of great beauty. Young trees grow in an irregular way, making a mound of branches, until one branch takes the lead and it becomes more tree-like. You can preserve the mounding form by removing branches that push up into a more upright, taller stem. Grow this tree out on a lawn, or in a prominent position on a slope or among rocks and boulders. Give it plenty of room – it will spread over 6 feet wide. This is a simply gorgeous tree, and one that will enhance your garden enormously, even if you don’t have the space for a large evergreen.

Ideal for smaller spaces, growing only 10 feet tall and 6 feet wide
Grow with some afternoon shade in hot zones

You can grow the Snow Sprite Himalayan Cedar in full sun, but in hotter zones some afternoon shade is desirable. This not only protects against burning, in the shade this tree literally glows like a beacon. Plant it in any well-drained soil, with a preference for porous, acidic soils enriched with compost or organic materials. Deer leave it alone and pests or diseases are very rare – this is an easy plant to grow in most gardens. Drought tolerant when established, but a slow, deep soak during extended dry periods will be appreciated. Don’t trim – enjoy the natural growth that makes each individual unique.]]> Not only is the Snow Sprite Himalayan Cedar much smaller, reaching only about 10 feet tall, but it has the wonderful added bonus of rare white tips on new growth, giving it an amazing soft, glowing look.

Growing about 6 inches a year it could be 4 feet tall in a short 10 years, forming a tight broad cone of horizontal branches with gracefully weeping tips. Grow it as a striking specimen in a rock garden, or on a slope among other interesting evergreens. Allow room for it to spread and don’t plant it too close to other plants or its wonderful conical form will be lost. This very special plant is ideal for special spots in your garden, or even for growing in a large planter as a unique feature on a terrace. It could also be developed into a wonderful bonsai tree.

Grows best in regions with dry summers and mild winters
Can be trimmed by hand to keep it small

Plant the Silver Mist Himalayan Cedar in full sun, which will give the strongest, most compact growth. Grow it in any well-drained soil, preferably neutral or acidic, and avoid heavy, wet soils. Very drought tolerant once established, but benefits from a deep soaking during extended dry periods. Not eaten by deer and rarely troubled by any pests or diseases. To keep the conical form, only allow one vertical shoot to develop. It can be trimmed by hand, with pruners, to keep it more compact. Cut back to just in front of a shoot on top of the branch, as this will then develop, hiding the cut and keeping a natural look. Probably best left untrimmed if you have room for it to spread in time.]]> Not only is this slow-growing beauty going to remain small and manageable, it is also one of the most striking varieties of Himalayan cedar, with incredible near-white new growth that gives it a cloud-like, misty look that is almost unique among evergreens.

The beautiful silver-blue foliage covers branches that grow horizontally and then become pendulous at their tips, creating a beautiful weeping effect. This is a wonderful alternative to spreading junipers, with much more character and beauty than those over-used plants. A perfect choice when you have a large area to cover, and as attractive on flat ground as it is on banks and slopes. Also beautiful among large rocks and boulders, or arching over the top of a retaining wall. Allow plenty of room for it to develop – use perennials or quick-growing shrubs to fill the space around it, removing them as it grows. Growth is around 8 inches a year, so it develops relatively quickly into a good-sized specimen, becoming more and more beautiful as time passes.

This striking specimen is very eye-catching, and a great way to cover a large area of ground. If you want, though, you can also stake up a suitable branch to a considerable height, creating a unique feature – a broad tree with arching and weeping branches that looks fantastic out on a large lawn, or perhaps on a bank or slope. The needles grow in clusters along the stems, and they are a warm, bright green color, with new needles having a more silvery-blue look. Older trees may develop large upright cones. This is a special, unique tree for a special spot in your garden – allow enough room for its development.

Full sun is best for the Weeping Himalayan Cedar, although a few hours of shade each day will do no harm. Well-drained soil is essential, and preferably the soil should be neutral to acidic – high pH soils are not so suitable. Deer normally ignore it and it usually has no significant pest or disease problems. Be sure to use a strong, durable stake if you create a tree from this plant – it will grow large and have considerable weight, which could snap in a storm if not securely staked.

This beautiful tree is fast-growing when young, adding 15 to 18 inches of growth each year, and it won’t be long before it is 25 feet tall and 15 feet wide. After that growth slows, but ultimately this will be a beautiful large tree, probably 40 feet tall and 20 feet or more wide. so allow plenty of space when planting. Grow it as a beautiful specimen out on a large lawn, where it will achieve its best look, or at the back of large shrub beds. Did we mention the greater winter hardiness?

The Karl Fuchs Himalayan Cedar is cold resistant, growing well even in zone 6.

This variety is more adaptable to moist soil than other varieties, and is also drought tolerant once well-established. It isn’t bothered by deer and remains generally free of pests or diseases, making this a very easy and rewarding tree to grow. Don’t trim, as this easily destroys the graceful weeping form, but watch that only one central stem develops, removing any competing stems if necessary, as multiple trunks can lead to splitting in the future.
