The Blue Atlas Cedar is the most popular blue-foliage evergreen available for warmer gardens. It grows rapidly to 15 feet within 10 years, ultimately reaching 60 feet tall and 40 feet wide, and even more in its maturity. The short needles grow in clusters along the branches, and they are a vibrant, striking blue-silver color. Younger trees have an upright, conical crown, becoming more spreading and forming a broad pyramid, as it develops. This is the perfect specimen for a large lawn, screening or an avenue.

Plant it in any well-drained soil, acid or alkaline. It is normally pest and disease-free, safe from deer and very drought resistant once established. Allow it to develop a single central trunk when young, otherwise no special care is needed.
