CEDRUS ATLANTICA seeds ATLAS CEDAR BONSAI LANDSCAPE CEDRUS ATLAN seed
LATIN NAME: Cedrus atlantica
COMMON NAME: Atlas Cedar
The atlas cedar spreads its blue-green tiers wide on the mountain slope, and the small, barrel-shaped cones sit upright on the branches. The tall, slow-growing, evergreen conifer carries the sprays of the short, stiff, blue-green to silvery needles and the small, barrel-shaped, resinous cones, one of the stately, historic sights of the high garden. The tree has a very long record in the old groves of the mountains, and it is a fine, historic presence of the park. It is a tree of the open, sunny, deep, well-drained ground.
Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology
The atlas cedar is a stately subject of the plant science, and the blue-green tiers keep showing up in the work on the true cedars. The way the small, barrel-shaped cones sit upright on the branches has been studied steadily, and it keeps appearing in the studies of the true cedars, the mountain conifers and the members of the pine family. The sprays of the short, stiff needles and the wide, tiered habit have also made it a fine study tree, and the atlas cedar is a regular subject of the work on the blue-green tiers of the high world.
Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications
The atlas cedar is a fine, stately tree of the park and the high garden. The wide, tiered branches give the fine, blue-green crown of the tree, one of the stately, historic sights of the park, holding the fine, scented wood that comes to the craft and the joinery of the old workshops, and the small, barrel-shaped, resinous cones sit among the sprays of the needles. The tree stands the cold, the heat and the dry summers with the ease, and it is one of the fine choices for the park, the specimen lawn and the study collection. It has been written about in the horticultural and the forestry papers for the blue-green tiers and the very long history, and it is a fine, stately tree of the open, sunny, deep, well-drained garden.
Give the young tree the open, sunny spot, and the tiers will widen in the long run.
To grow the atlas cedar from seed, press the small, winged seeds into the surface of the pot of gritty soil, without covering them, keep the pot in a bright, open spot and water gently, then pot the young trees on as they fill the pot. The seedlings come up in their own good time and grow on steadily. With the sun and the deep, well-drained ground, the blue-green tiers will widen over the years.
