White Tip Cedar - Cedrus deodara Albospica 3 - Year Live Plant White Tip Cedar - 3-Year Live Plant

White Tip Deodar Cedar, scientifically known as Cedrus deodara 'Albospica', is a stunning tree with creamy ivory-tipped new growth. This particular variety was discovered in an Irish garden back in 1899. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and is suitable for growing in zones 5 to 9.

One of the notable features of Cedrus deodara 'Albospica' is its slower growth rate compared to the species. It forms an upright but irregular pyramidal shape and can reach a height of 15 feet with a width of 12 feet. The branches of this tree are dense and adorned with green needles, while the youngest tips showcase an attractive ivory color that gradually turns green during summer. These delicate branch tips elegantly hang downwards, creating a soft and luxurious appearance for the entire tree. Over time, the trunks and branches develop a picturesque quality, especially when viewed from beneath the canopy.

Cedrus deodara 'Albospica' produces both male and female cones. The female cones, which are large and egg-shaped, are held upright on the upper branches and possess a purple-green hue. On the other hand, the smaller male cones have an elongated shape.

This white-tipped variety of Himalayan Cedar is a true beauty. It adds an elegant touch to any landscape, especially during late spring when it is in full display. One can even trim the tree to maintain a more compact form if desired.

When purchasing a Cedrus deodara 'Albospica', you will receive a 3-year-old plant that will eventually reach a height of 15 feet. It will be shipped to you in a container with soil, ensuring its longevity. This tree is hardy in zones 5 to 8, making it a suitable choice for various regions.
