About
Cedrus deodara 'Golden Horizon' is a slowly spreading conifer that typically reaches a height of less than 1 meter when upward growth is pruned, while expanding up to 2 meters in width. Its foliage consists of vibrant yellow-green needles that persist throughout the year. If allowed to grow unpruned, it can develop a broad conical shape, potentially reaching around 3.5 meters in diameter.
About the genus
Cedrus consists of substantial evergreen trees characterized by needle-like foliage that forms a spiral pattern on young branches and appears in whorls on shorter spur-like shoots. The ovoid cones disintegrate to disperse seeds while remaining attached to the tree.
