Divinely Blue Deodar Cedar

Divinely Blue Deodar Cedar Cedrus deodara' Divinely Blue   Cedrus deodara ‘Divinely Blue’ is a fine selection of Deodar cedar that grows as a wide-spreading, flat-topped shrub when young. As the plant matures it will develop apical dominance eventually becoming broadly conical. Branching is typical of the species, radiating outward with nodding branch tips.

This cultivar originated as a seedling selected by Angelica Nurseries, Kennedyville, Maryland, USA. They named it in honor of Bill Devine, a retired propagator there.    Mature Height : 12-15 feet Mature Width : 12-15 feet Exposure : Full sun to partial shade Hardiness zones : 6-9
