Fastigiate Atlas Cedar

About this plant

Standing tall and proud, the Fastigiate Atlas Cedar (Cedrus Atlantica Fastigiata) is a true architectural plant, boasting a narrow, upright habit that makes a powerful statement. Its stiff, upward-sweeping branches are adorned with short, blue-green needles that deliver year-round color and texture. This cultivar offers a sophisticated vertical accent, ideal for narrower spaces where a broad conifer would be too sprawling. It brings a touch of classic elegance to formal gardens, urban settings, or as a distinguished specimen in a mixed border. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the Fastigiate Atlas Cedar is remarkably resilient, tolerating a range of conditions once established, making it a valuable and long-lived addition to the discerning gardener's collection.

Care & maintenance

Requires well-drained soil. Minimal pruning is needed to maintain its naturally columnar shape. Fertilize in spring with a balanced evergreen fertilizer. Protect young trees from strong winds.
