Ordered 6 of the Deodar Cedars after much research and talking to a helpful gentleman at NH Nursery.

Kudos to you guys--we may order a few more.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can i buy cedar trees?
  • You can buy cedar trees from online nurseries, local garden centers, and specialty conifer growers. Deodar cedars thrive in USDA zones 7-9 and need full sun with well-draining soil. Plant in spring or fall for best establishment, spacing 10-15 feet apart for screening.

What are its watering requirements?
  • Deodar Cedar is drought-tolerant once established, typically after 2-3 years. Water deeply but infrequently during establishment, then reduce frequency as this hardy conifer adapts. Shop at Nature Hills for this low-maintenance evergreen perfect for zones 7-9.

How tall and wide does a mature Deodar Cedar tree grow?
  • Mature Deodar Cedar trees typically reach 40-70 feet tall and 20-40 feet wide. This majestic evergreen develops a soft pyramidal form with gracefully drooping branch tips. For screening purposes, space trees 10-15 feet on center to allow proper development.

Are Deodar Cedar trees deer resistant?
  • Deodar Cedars are generally deer resistant due to their aromatic evergreen foliage and resinous needles that deer typically avoid. The strong fragrance and texture make them an unappealing browse option. Plant in zones 7-9 for best deer deterrent results.

How much space should I leave between my Deodar Cedar and other plants or structures?
  • A: Plan for 20-40 feet of mature spread when spacing your Deodar Cedar from structures and other large plants. This majestic evergreen reaches 40-70 feet tall with an equally impressive canopy width. For screening purposes, space trees 10-15 feet apart. Shop Nature Hills for healthy specimens that establish quickly in zones 7-9.

What ongoing maintenance and pruning does Deodar Cedar require?
  • Deodar Cedar is remarkably low-maintenance once established, requiring minimal pruning or care. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches in late winter. Avoid heavy pruning as it disrupts the tree's natural graceful form. Simply water deeply during dry spells the first two years.
