The Deodar Cedar is a fine textured evergreen tree that makes a good substitute for white pine. Its form is broadly pyramidal when young, its pendulous branches become wide and spreading, as its central leader often dies out. Transplanted it easily if it has been root pruned.
They grow at a moderate pace, adding one to two feet per year to reach between 40 and 70 feet tall, though it can reach 250 feet in its native setting. The tree needs all that space because of its beautiful weeping branches, which will grow and spread. Avoid planting the tree in areas that get a lot of wind.
