Young trees are open and irregular, almost awkward looking; with age they broaden into the flat topped, layered silhouette that makes mature Atlas cedars landmark trees in parks across southern Australia. This is a long term planting for a large site, and it should never be squeezed into a suburban front garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy Blue Atlas Cedar\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature Scale\u003c\/strong\u003e: Becomes a genuine landscape scale tree, which is the point of planting one.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage Colour\u003c\/strong\u003e: Silver blue needles read strongly against dark green backgrounds all year.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBranch Architecture\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tiered horizontal limbs give the layered profile that defines the species.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrought Hardiness\u003c\/strong\u003e: Once established it needs little supplementary water in a Mediterranean climate.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLongevity\u003c\/strong\u003e: Lives for well over a century in suitable conditions, so it outlasts several owners.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIdeal Applications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eParkland Specimen\u003c\/strong\u003e: Given open ground it develops the full spreading silhouette.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLarge Lawn Centrepiece\u003c\/strong\u003e: Anchors a substantial garden where nothing else needs to compete.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRural Windbreak\u003c\/strong\u003e: Planted in a line on cool climate properties for shelter and structure.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLong Driveway Avenue\u003c\/strong\u003e: Repeated at wide spacing on acreage for a formal approach.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecimen \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (screening\/hedge):\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 to 10m minimum in a row, as it is not a hedging plant\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (feature\/avenue):\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 to 15m\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest Planting Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Autumn to early spring\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil \u0026amp; Drainage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep, freely draining soil, with no tolerance of heavy wet clay or humid tropical conditions\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEstablishment Care:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water deeply every week to ten days through the first two summers, after which it becomes markedly drought hardy.
