About this product

PLEASE NOTE: The 2.5-3.0m are in 100l containers. 

Cedrus atlantica Glauca, also known as Blue Atlas Cedar, is an impressive and dramatic blue variety of Cedrus atlantica.

This tree has silvery blue foliage that is a little sparsely furnished when young yet forms an impressive and expansive tree when mature.

At maturity, Cedrus atlantica Glauca forms an extremely large tree with wide branching structures that reach impressively out from the centre.

It thrives on most soils, provided the planting area does not become waterlogged. Like its parent, Blue Atlas Cedar is an imposing specimen and is included by many in a classical parkland selection.

The extensive eventual size of this tree limits its use in urban gardens, and if planted in anywhere other than open parkland, consideration should be given to the tremendous size it will reach in many years.

Mature height: 20m+
