The Silver Mist Cedar Conifer (Cedrus deodara 'Silver Mist') is a beautiful and unique dwarf conifer tree that is known for its silvery-white foliage. It is a popular choice for home gardens and landscapes because of its compact size, attractive appearance, and ease of care.
Silver Mist Cedar Conifers can grow up to 6-8 feet tall and 2-3 feet wide, but they can be pruned to maintain a smaller size. They have a conical habit and are covered in soft, feathery needles that are a silvery-white color, especially in the new growth. The needles turn a darker green color as they mature.
Silver Mist Cedar Conifers prefer full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. They are also tolerant of drought once established.
To care for a Silver Mist Cedar Conifer, water it regularly, especially during the first year after planting. Fertilize the tree in the spring with a balanced fertilizer. Prune the tree in the late winter or early spring to remove any dead or diseased branches, and to shape the plant.

Note: The plant is shipped in its pot, firmly secured with several layers of clear tape, thereby avoiding any shuffling and moving during transit. The plant reaches you with minimal damage- very safe and secure. We have been shipping plants like this for several years (plant are sometimes shipped in smaller pots for safety and ease of shipping). Most plants go dormant in fall and winter and will lose most of their leaves - looking dead and dry - very normal. They will flush out in spring.
We cannot send ship some plants and some sizes to California due to restrictions placed by department of agriculture.
