Cedrus atlantica ‘Glauca Pendula’

 

Weeping Blue Atlas Cedar

 

Stauffers of Kissel Hill, 301 Rohrerstown Road, Lancaster PA

 

 

From the proper angle, this drooping, sprawling tree looks for all the world like an English Longhorn lying in pasture, chewing its cud.   A remarkable tree form!

 

This amazing species contains oil in its wood that the ancient Egyptians extracted for embalming; for perfume and other cosmetics; for a sweet and woody incense fragrance; and for diuretic, antiseptic and other medicinal purposes.
