Native to the Atlas Mountains of Morocco, the Golden Atlas Cedar is a stunningly beautiful evergreen conifer with spaced, weeping branches that are covered in short, stiff, blue-green older needles underneath golden-yellow to soft-yellow new growth, giving the appearance that the branches are coated in a lemony frost. Depending on the climate and environment, it typically forms an upright pyramid to 25 feet tall and 15 feet wide at its base in colder climates (zones 6-7) and up to 40 feet tall and 20 feet wide at its base in warmer climates (zones 8-9). It is exceptionally easy to grow and highly drought-tolerant once established, and you may be pleased to know that insects, diseases, and deer don’t bother it. The Golden Atlas Cedar is a truly magnificent and captivating tree in the landscape, sure to be a conversation piece.

Growing 25 to 40 feet tall and 15 to 20 feet wide over time, the Golden Atlas Cedar is ideal for use as a focal point specimen in sunny, open areas or to frame the corners of tall homes or other buildings and entrances. It can also be planted in groupings where space allows. A fine addition to rock gardens, conifer gardens, yellow theme gardens, and Xeriscape gardens (low water needs).
