About this product

Calocedrus decurrens, also known as Libocedrus decurrens or Incense Cedar, was introduced from the west of America into the UK in the 1850s.

Its narrow evergreen habit makes it a fine tree for a garden with free-draining soil. At maturity, the bark cracks to produce an attractive patchwork effect on the brown trunk.

Calocedrus decurrens's foliage resembles Thuya's, but its formal columnar shape distinguishes it from most other conifers. It also requires no maintenance!

Mature height: 12-17m
