5 Seeds Cedrus atlantica Atlas Mountain Cedar Evergreen Blue Green Conifer Tree

Cedrus atlantica, commonly known as the Atlas Mountain Cedar, is a majestic evergreen conifer admired for its silvery blue-green needles and graceful, layered branching habit. Native to the Atlas Mountains of North Africa, this long-lived tree develops a bold, architectural silhouette that adds year-round structure and elegance to gardens and landscapes.
This conifer is well suited as a specimen tree, in mixed borders, or grouped for windbreaks and privacy screens. It tolerates a range of conditions once established and grows steadily into a large, stately tree with a broad, irregular crown. Its distinctive foliage color and form make it a striking focal point in any planting scheme.
