Cedrus Deodara Eisregen

Ice Rain Himalayan Cedar

A distinctive weeping deodar cedar noted for its silvery blue-green needles and elegant, cascading habit. Branches arch and drape softly, creating a flowing, sculptural form. ‘Eisregen’ may be allowed to spread naturally as a low, graceful specimen or trained upward on a stake to develop a narrow, vertical accent with cascading side branches.
