Fast-growing tree that has one main trunk that grows straight with later branches and pendulous twigs at the end. As a result, the tree, particularly young ones, develops a decorative crown shape that is at first broad and pyramidal, but later flattens out as it grows. In the Himalayas, its natural habitat, the tree can grow to heights of 60 - 70 m. In England, it grows to approximately 30 m, and on the continent no higher than 20 m. The needles grow in groups, with up to 30 bundled together. They are slightly curved, dark blue-green and longer than other Cedar species. The ovoid, upright cones grow singly or in pairs and have a round top. Saplings are particularly sensitive to frost, requiring a sunny site sheltered from wind. Cedrus deodara does not thrive well in high-pH soils.
Cedrus deodara can eventually reach a height of 15 - 20 (30) m, 50 - 70 m in region of origin, fast growing, depending on the site and climate conditions.
Cedrus deodara is быстрорастущий and can eventually reach a height of 15 - 20 (30) m, 50 - 70 m in region of origin, fast growing, depending on the site and climate conditions.
The right time to plant Cedrus deodara is during the dormancy period. In Western Europe, Cedrus deodara with root balls can generally be planted from mid-November to late April, although this depends strongly on the climatic conditions and the species of tree.
