Notes
'Karl Fuchs' atlas cedar (Cedrus deodara 'Karl Fuchs') is a tree for specimen planting, accent, and privacy screen uses. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer rarely make it their first choice. Its evergreen needles grow in a conical shape at a moderate rate. It tolerates drought and salt, and birds visit it.
Pairs well with Blue oak, Karl Foerster feather reed grass, and Shasta daisy.
