| EVERGREEN PREMIER SELECTION
Cedrus atlantica
An excellent Cedar variety that makes an absolutely handsome specimen tree. Bluish green needle foliage is very eye catching, and will become most intense through fertilization and application of organic humus & mulches on a regular basis. Has a wide range of preferences - does well in slightly dry, arid locations.....but also has shown itself to deal very well with the higher heat & humidity of the southeast as well. When given ample room, and time to fully mature this tree will have few rivals in anyone's landscape.
