Blue Atlas Cedar

The Blue Atlas Cedar is a unique, striking tree that catches attention on any landscape. Known for its signature powdery blue needles, this evergreen produces only a few small cones in the springtime. A more trainable species, Blue Atlas Cedars can be shaped as it grows and molded into cone, oval, cylinder, or “weeping” shapes with its drooping, contorted branches. Although slow growing and not transplanting well, it is generally easy to care for, making it a top choice of landscape architects and gardeners alike. It is also a good idea to stake this tree until it’s established, as it’s likely that this tree will end up growing close to the ground. Fairly pest and disease free, if it does come down with a pest, it is probably scale or sapsuckers, which are unlikely to cause serious damage to the tree.
