Cedrus atlantica glauca

BLUE ATLAS CEDAR

Pinaceae family Morocco/Algeria-Atlas Mts.

The bluish hue of the needles of the Cedrus atlantica glauca cause this native of North Africa to stand out. Native to the Atlas Mountains of Algeria and Morocco it grows naturally from 2000 to 6000 feet, occasionally reaching heights of 120 feet, however, in cultivation heights normally range from 30 to 60 feet.
