About this product

PLEASE NOTE: The 2.0-3.0m are in 100l containers.

Few trees, deciduous or evergreen, can compare with the beauty and elegance of a mature Cedrus libani, also known as Cedar of Lebanon.

Some think it is its own species or that it is a geographical subspecies of Cedrus atlantica but either way there is little to choose between them. It won the Award of Garden Merit in 2002.

One of the most majestic of all trees and extensively planted as part of the enduring landscape of some of our grandest stately homes and estates. It is slower growing than the Atlas Cedar, conical when young before assuming the flat-topped and tiered habit of maturity.

Introduced to England around the time of the Civil War in the mid-1640s, it has large, barrel-shaped cones and green or grey/green foliage.

It thrives on most soils though does not appreciate wet ground.

Mature height: 20m+
