Atlas cedar

A fantastic addition to any mid-sized garden, for its beautiful architectural shape. The Atlas cedar is a fairly quick growing conifer with elegant ascending branches. Round clusters of needle-like leaves are borne along the stems along with 5-7cm tall cones that also have a purplish tone when young. A large and wide spreading tree with a conical top portion becoming flatter with age. Grows quite well in coastal gardens.
