SANDERS BLUE DEODARA CEDAR 15gal

This breathtaking evergreen conifer is celebrated for its truly vibrant, powdery blue needles that are among the bluest of all deodar cedars. The new spring growth emerges a striking light blue, deepening to a beautiful silvery-blue as the season progresses, providing exceptional winter interest. Its graceful pyramidal form, with gently weeping branches, creates a stunning architectural statement in any yard.

‘Sanders Blue’ Deodara Cedar is a grand tree, maturing to an impressive size of 50 feet tall and 20 feet wide. This means it requires ample space to reach its full potential, making it ideal as a specimen tree in a spacious lawn, a background plant, or for creating a majestic privacy screen. It thrives in full sun, needing at least six hours of direct sunlight daily to maintain its intense blue coloration. A wonderful feature for many gardeners in Arizona is its deer resistance, making it a reliable choice where deer might otherwise be a problem. Once established, it is also quite drought-tolerant, fitting well into water-wise landscapes.

To ensure your ‘Sanders Blue’ Deodara Cedar establishes strong roots and grows vigorously, plant it with Watters Premium Mulch. A 2-3 inch layer of this organic mulch will help conserve crucial soil moisture, regulate soil temperature, and slowly release nutrients as it decomposes. For continued health and vibrant growth, feed your tree with Watters 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food four times a year: on Easter, July 4th, Halloween, and New Year’s. This specially formulated plant food provides the balanced nutrition your tree needs to flourish in our local soils, promoting robust growth and that stunning blue foliage.
