Add item to quote to see pricing

Cedrus atlantica 'Horstmann' is more than just a tree; it's an enduring statement in your landscape. Often referred to by its common name, the Horstmann Blue Atlas Cedar, this slow-growing conifer isn't just for the woodland—its striking blue-green needles offer year-round color and texture, contrasted by deeply ridged, dark brown bark. The beauty lies in its progression, initially arising in an irregular pyramid shape before maturing to a more open, sprawling form. At mature heights of 10 to 15 feet, it brings architectural elegance to your green space without overwhelming it. This robust cedar variety thrives under full sun exposure, and, with its notable tolerance to drought, it requests remarkably low water usage. It's a unique, maintenance-friendly choice that breathes life into borders, rock gardens or as a stand-alone focal point, adapting to a wide range of soil types and climates. Discover the enduring charm of the Horstmann Blue Atlas Cedar and let it lay down roots in your landscape.
