Silver Mist Himalayan Cedar

Cedrus deodara 'Silver Mist'

Plant Details:

Plant Type: Evergreen Tree
Plant Family: Pinaceae
Plant Description: Densely packed, conical evergreen prized for its flushes of snowy white, new growth. As ‘Silver Mist’ matures a terminal leader may emerge, but the general shape will stay compact when compared to others of its kind, making it great for smaller spaces.

Maintenance:

Maintenance Type: Tree - Evergreen
Plant Care: Tree - Evergreen (single-stemmed woody plants that keep their leaves during winter): Light pruning is required to maintain desired shape and to avoid branching problems such as double-leader stems. Evergreen trees can be difficult to establish. Adequate winter moisture is critical for the first 2-3 years until the roots establish. If there is a dry winter check the root ball with your finger for moisture before watering. Monitor for pests and diseases.
