This description is for Cedrus deodara: Cedrus deodara, or the Deodar, is an evergreen tree that sports dark green, needle-like leaves. It also becomes covered in brown cones at various times of the year. Easily spotted by its trademark drooping branches, the tree best thrives in a full sunlight position. A popular tree used in architectural locations, it’s also very well suited to the British climate as it can cope with the harshest of winter weather.
