Blue Cedar of Lebanon - Cedrus libani ‘Glauca’
Cedrus libani is a tree with a very particular architecture: a conical youth, then a broad flat topped crown of heavy horizontal branch tiers that becomes unmistakable at fifty years. The ‘Glauca’ form carries the same structure with steel blue grey needles rather than green. It is a long lived, drought hardy, frost hardy conifer for parkland, acreage and large cool climate gardens, and the one thing it cannot be given is a small block. Plant it where the mature crown has 12m or more to spread.
Why Blue Cedar of Lebanon
Needle Colour: Short blue grey needles in tight rosettes along the branches, holding colour through winter.
Mature Architecture: The horizontal tiers and flattened crown of an old cedar are a landscape event that no fast growing tree can imitate.
Longevity: A tree planted now is a tree for the next several generations, which is why it appears on so many heritage properties.
Climate Toughness: Once established it handles hard frost, dry summers and poor rocky soil without irrigation.
Space Demand: The mature spread can exceed the height, so it is entirely wrong for a suburban courtyard and entirely right for open ground.
Ideal Applications
Parkland Specimen: A single tree in open mown grass where the full silhouette is visible from a distance.
Estate Entry: Flanking a rural gateway, spaced widely enough that the crowns never meet.
Heritage Cool Climate Garden: The correct choice for a nineteenth century style garden in the tablelands or the Adelaide Hills.
Long Rural Avenue: Widely spaced along a driveway on acreage, planted well back from the running surface.
Specimen & Installation
Spacing (screening/hedge): Not a screen. In a grove, 10 to 12m apart.
Spacing (feature/avenue): 12 to 15m, and at least 12m from any building.
Best Planting Season: Autumn to early spring while temperatures are mild.
Soil & Drainage: Deep and free draining. Poor, stony and shallow soils are tolerated. Heavy soil that stays wet in winter causes root rot and eventual failure.
Establishment Care: Water fortnightly through the first two summers, then leave it to find its own moisture. Mulch widely, use a low loose stake only if the site is windy and remove it after the first year, and never cut the central leader.
