Blue Atlas Cedar
Blue Atlas Cedar (Cedrus atlantica 'Glauca') is one of the most majestic and visually commanding evergreen trees you can plant — a true specimen tree that brings a sense of grandeur and permanence to any landscape. Its sweeping, horizontal branches are draped in striking silvery-blue needle foliage that shimmers in the light, creating a dramatic presence that few trees can match. Over time it develops into a broad, open pyramidal form with a character all its own.
This is a tree that rewards patience — slow to establish but ultimately long-lived and unforgettable. Plant it where it has room to spread and become the centerpiece it was born to be: a sweeping lawn specimen, a bold anchor at the corner of a large property, or a dramatic backdrop for a formal garden. Available here as a large #15 container specimen at 7–8 feet tall, ready to make an immediate statement.
