Mature Specimens
The specimen on the left is considerably younger, and has obviously been maintained & cared for wonderfully. The one on the right is a much more mature tree, and has a much more "open" branching habit. This type of growth habit is much more common, and typical of the species - especially if left to grow naturally with minimal care & feeding.

Male Cones
Photos of the smaller, male cones produced by Deodara Cedar - both in the developmental stage, as well as the mature, ripened stage.

Female Cones
These are the female cones of Deodara Cedar. These cones are considerably larger than the male cones, and are the cones that actually contain seeds. The cones start out as a pale greenish blue color, and eventually ripen to a mahogany brown color.

Branch Comparison
Here is a comparison between the branches of both Deodara Cedar and Blue Atlas Cedar. These two varieties are sometimes confused and mistaken for one another. But the differences between the two can easily be seen in this photo.
