Plant Profile: Cedrus deodara 'Pendula'

This plant features a sprawling, ground-covering growth habit characterized by its drooping branches. It is advisable to stake young plants to encourage upward growth; otherwise, they will develop into a wide, low-growing form, often spreading more than they rise. Its cascading nature makes it an ideal choice for solitary plantings. Commonly found in parks, cemeteries, industrial areas, and residential gardens, it thrives best in well-drained loamy soil but can also adapt to clay, sand, or chalky soils.

This species shows resistance to Verticillium wilt.

Quick Identification:
