Cedrus deodara Divinely Blue

Divinely Blue Deodora Cedar

A striking selection of deodar cedar prized for its rich, intense blue foliage and elegant, refined habit. Soft needles and gracefully pendulous branch tips give it the classic deodar look, while the enhanced blue coloration provides standout year-round interest. More controlled in habit than the species, ‘Divinely Blue’ offers strong color without overwhelming scale.
