The Plant Sentry Compliance Officer works closely with NatureHills.com and each nursery or fulfillment center to ensure only compliant plants are sold to customers.

In the larger landscape that needs size and color to make an impact, rely on the magnificent Blue Atlas Cedar Tree (Cedrus atlantica 'Glauca') to deliver an imposing, formal look! This stiff evergreen becomes a sculptural accent with a simply enormous amount of character!
Skyward-reaching erect branches are cloaked with beautiful blue-green needles, and the Blue Atlas Cedar grows into a tall pyramid that becomes flat-topped with age. And that age is up there! Expect this tree to reward your time and money with decades of beauty! While not the fastest-growing evergreen, you'll be planting a legacy that will grow for generations to come!
The steely blue needles simply glisten in the sunlight. No wonder these handsome evergreens are one of the world's most popular trees! Hardy throughout USDA planting zones 6 to 8, your Blue Atlas will achieve a height of 40 - 60 feet and a spread of 30 - 40 feet at the base.
Landscape Application:
These disease-resistant trees make a wonderful addition to large landscapes...both commercial and residential. Enjoy the redolent fragrance of the needles and textured bark in your space by placing a seating area or reading chair nearby.
Add a single Blue Atlas Cedar to anchor your front yard formal beds or as the crown jewel of your front yard landscaping. Adding impressive size, shade, and color to your curb appeal. The Blue Atlas Cedar works amazingly well to ground an oversized portico or outbuilding.
If you have a blank slate...why not use them in an informal group to create a focal point in a park-like setting on a large lawn? Give them plenty of room to reach the mature height and width listed on the Plant Highlights. Then watch as the birds and wildlife move into the 5-star hotels you've just installed!
As a nice bonus, the close-knit branches pull double-duty as an effective privacy screen that requires little care. Wildlife also love sheltering in the protective limbs! Add structure and year-round color to your landscape design, unique color among a shelterbelt or windbreak installation, or simply an outstanding focal point that will turn heads from anywhere on the block! You'll never regret this sophisticated choice.

#ProPlantTips for Care:
We do recommend that you plant your Cedar tree in full sun and well-drained soil. Provide regular moisture access for young trees while they are getting their legs under them for the first few years. But once established in your soil, Blue Atlas Cedar becomes waterwise, however, we suggest that you protect your investment with supplemental water in times of drought. All plants appreciate a 3-4 inch deep layer of pine bark chip mulch around their root systems for an added layer of protection from the elements. Prune young trees to train them, remove crossing branches, or winter dieback in the spring.
- Performs In Full Sun & High Heat
- Adaptable To Most Well-Drained Soil Locations
- Moderate Moisture Needs - Waterwise When Mature
- Disease Resistant
- Prune To Train In Early Spring
- Deer Don't Prefer the Taste
