A true cedar native to areas in Afghanistan to India, Deodar Cedar is the most commonly grown of the
Cedrus
genus. It has naturally well shaped pyramidal form and is one of the most heat tolerant conifer species available. It is fast growing and develops strong, straight leaders with thick and sturdy side branches which are very resistant to snow breakage. Trees are generally large so they should be planted where they will have room to grow to their full size. Mature trees in their native environment will form multiple trunks off of large side branches, creating a fascinating mini-forest on top of a single trunk.
In the landscape, Deodar cedars are quite popular for their wide branching habit, lending it to be used as a shade tree. Because the branches are strong and thick this tree is a favorite for tree houses and tree swings. It is also popular for bonsai as the foliage grows in clusters like pines, which can be very beneficial to creating a unique bonsai tree that looks like a miniature pine.
Propagating Deodar Cedar (
Cedrus deodara)
Propagation is best done through seed, which can be easily collected from cones off of female trees in the fall. Seeds are large and much easier to collect than from most other conifers. Seeds are produced only from female trees, other trees produce only male cones. We have also had limited success rooting cuttings during the winter, however this is a slow process with low yields.
Seed for our trees is collected in native stands in very high altitude populations selected for cold hardiness, so these trees are hardy to zone 6 (normally these trees are hardy to zone 7).

Packing Plants For ShippingWe pack our plants depending on the needs of each species and size, most plants ship best with the roots packed in moist sawdust or bark fines but some species don't like root disturbance and are shipped in a soil-less growing media. Excess soil is washed from the roots in preparation for shipping (18-24" White Pines)  Plants are bundled together to fit in boxes  Bundles of plants are secured in long boxes. Plant Sizes 3 gallon Dawn Redwood  Standard quart shrub  Standard 14-18" multi-stem tree size  Standard deep plug pine tree Bamboo Plants Are Shipped In Their ContainersBamboo roots are not flexible and so plants have to be shipped in their containers. These plants are heavier and are shipped separately from bare root plants. Because they are potted they can handle longer transit times so can ship via UPS Ground instead of USPS Air Mail. Potted plants can also be shipped year-round.We regularly top our 1 gallon bamboo plants at 24-30 inches tall throughout the growing season. This results in dense, bushy foliage while allowing for economical shipping. From this size most running species will grow to 5-6 feet tall in the first spring and clumping species will usually grow to 4-5 feet tall.  1 gallon bamboo plants strapped in and ready to be sealed. Unpacking Bare Root PlantsYou will be sent tracking details as soon as your plants are shipped. Unpack your plants as quickly as possible after they are delivered. We use two types of boxes, side-sealing and top-sealing. For boxes that are taped along the whole length you can cut the tape on either side and remove the plant bundles by cutting the tape holding the bundle to the bottom. For boxes that are sealed on the top and bottom, it is easiet to open the bottom of the box (the shipping label is at the top) and pull the bundle of plants out straight out. Check that the box is empty as there can be a second bundle of plants stuck towards the top. A bundle of trees. What if I am not able to plant right away?You can usually leave the plants in their shipping container unopened for 1-2 days if there were no shipping delays and you have received your plants from late November through February. Plants shipped when it is warmer can't stay in their packages for as long.For longer term storage of plants you can pot them up or plant them in rows close together temporarily and then pull them out later in the spring to be planted again. This keeps the roots moist while allowing for air flow to the tops. The roots should have good contact with the soil to ensure they have access to adequate moisture. |
