Report an issue with this species
The Deodar Cedar is a majestic evergreen conifer with graceful, sweeping branches and soft, blue-green needle-like leaves. It maintains a pyramidal shape when young, maturing into a more open form with dark, furrowed bark. Well-suited for large spaces like parks, it provides excellent shade and acts as a windbreak in urban environments.
