Stop 9 on Trail 2 A mature Blue Cedar
Ceadras ( Irish)
Cedrus
atlantica 'Glauca'
Height after 10 years: 10 ft
The Blue Cedar is a beautiful conifer, widely grown as a specimen tree in lawns
where the blue-green foliage can be seen to its best advantage. Stake firmly
after planting. A poor choice where space is limited - this tree can soon get
out of hand. The weeping Cedrus atlantica 'Glauca Pendula' and the yellow-leaved
Cedrus atlantica.'Aurea' are much less robust.
Our Blue Cedar is special to us as we planted it in 1999 to mark Peace Day. It is appropriate that such a beautiful tree should remind us of such an important event.
