Horstmann Blue Atlas Cedar is a smaller, more compact version of the species which offers striking powder-blue foliage. Horstmann is a graceful evergreen tree reaching up to 12’ high and 8’ wide. Because of its small stature compared to the species, it makes a perfect candidate for the smaller, urban landscape.

Water deeply and regularly during the first few growing seasons to establish an extensive root system; reduce frequency once established. Atlas Cedar is quite drought tolerant once established. It is best located in an area sheltered from high winds.

No serious insect or disease problems.
