Cedrus atlantica ‘Glauca Pendula’ (Atlas cedar)

The atlas cedar is so named because it is native to the Atlas mountains in Algeria and Morocco. They do not occur in the wild in North America, though they are planted in yards.

Plants: These cedars reach up to 120′ (36 m) in the Atlas mountains, but are usually 3–12′ (91–365 cm) in size when planted in North American gardens. This cultivar has needles with a blue/gray/green color, and a low, mounded shape, remaining only a few feet high.

Leaves: Needles are 1′ (30 cm), tightly clustered, and curved toward the tips.

Fruits: Female cones are ovoid to cylindrical in shape and up to 3″ (7.6 cm) long.
