Cedrus deodara 'Patti Faye'
The name Cedrus comes from Kedros, the
ancient Greek word given to a resinous tree. Its Sanskrit name,
Devadaru, can be translated to mean "tree of the gods!"
The wood of deodar cedar is stronger than most conifers. Entire
forests were cut down when the British built the railroads across
India, using the wood for everything from railroad ties and furniture
to bridges and firewood!

'Patti Faye'
Cedrus deodara
Common name: Himalayan
Cedar
The magnificent deodara 'Patti Faye' is
a cultivar that has distinct 'blue' color when it flushes. Unlike
other 'blue' deodara's, which are tall and usually narrow, this
one almost resembles a Christmas Tree. It is a pyramidal in shape
with green needles and graceful branching. They can grow to 40'
to 50' tall and can have up to a 20'-30' width. Also known as
the Himalayan Cedar, it does best in full sun and can handle
most soil types but prefers good drainage.
