Description

The Incense Cedar is a majestic, native North American conifer valued for its towering, narrow form, aromatic foliage, and striking reddish-brown, deeply furrowed bark. It grows as a tall, slender spire, making it an excellent vertical accent for large landscapes, parks, or native gardens. Its fragrant wood and foliage, along with its drought tolerance once established, make it a distinctive and low-maintenance specimen tree.

• A tall, narrow, columnar to pyramidal native tree with a spire-like silhouette.

• Foliage and wood are highly aromatic with a sweet, spicy fragrance.

• Develops beautiful, thick, cinnamon-red to reddish-brown bark that becomes deeply ridged with age.

• Very drought tolerant and adaptable to poor, rocky soils once established.

• Grows at a moderate rate to a great height (75-90 ft) but remains quite narrow (10-15 ft wide).

• Excellent as a specimen tree, in native plantings, or for a vertical accent in large-scale landscapes.
