Cedrus deodara Kashmir

Kashmir Deodora Cedar

A distinctive deodar cedar selection admired for its soft blue to blue-green needles and graceful, slightly weeping branch tips. ‘Kashmir’ develops a refined, upright pyramidal form that is more controlled than the species while retaining the elegant, flowing character typical of deodar cedar. Provides year-round color and a calm, architectural presence.
