CEDRUS DEODARA
Plant code: CED-DEO
The Himalayan Cedar is a conifer native to the western slopes of the Himalayan chain, naturally present in regions such as eastern Afghanistan, northern Pakistan, Kashmir, Tibet, Nepal and northern India. The name “deodara” comes from the Sanskrit devadar, which means “tree of the gods”, in reference to the spiritual connection with the sacred mountains of the Himalayas. The pendulous variety stands out for its elegant and unusual shape: it can reach 8-10 metres in height, with long flexible branches that rest downwards, wrapping around the trunk. Even the tip of the tree, once it exceeds 3-4 metres, tends to curve gently, creating a unique and irregular silhouette, ideal for creating striking focal points in gardens.
