Cedrus deodara Karl Fuchs
Common Name: Karl Fuchs Deodora
A highly regarded cold-hardy deodar cedar selected for its strong steel-blue to blue-gray foliage and narrow, upright pyramidal form. Softer needles and subtly pendulous branch tips retain classic deodar elegance, while the tighter habit and improved hardiness make ‘Karl Fuchs’ especially reliable in colder regions where standard deodar cedar can struggle. Plant Characteristics Type: Evergreen conifer Form: Narrowly upright, pyramidal Mature Width: 12–18 ft Mature Height: 30–40 ft Foliage Color: Steel blue to blue-gray Texture: Fine to medium, refined Growing Conditions USDA Hardiness Zones: 6a–9b Light: Full sun Soil: Average, well-drained soils; intolerant of wet sites Water: Moderate; drought tolerant once established Maintenance: Low; minimal pruning required Landscape Uses Specimen tree, vertical accent, estates, large borders, and mixed conifer plantings where strong blue color and a more compact deodar form are desired. Care Tips Site in full sun for best foliage color Avoid poorly drained or compacted soils Allow space for mature height and form
