Avenue, Lancaster PA<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Landscapers usually recommend planting Blue Atlas Cedars at least 40 feet away from any structure to allow for growth of these large trees, but the Arts Hotel has taken a different tack. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Five cedars are, in effect, partial espaliers after being planted so close to the hotel building (about 8 inches) that 50% of each tree (the backside) cannot develop. \u00a0Some of their branches look like vines climbing the hotel walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This species is normally broadly spreading when mature but these five trees can never reach such size and form. &nbsp;Still, being well cared for and now approaching 18 feet tall, these are healthy and &#8216;happy&#8217; trees &#8212; they were covered with&nbsp;cones in August 2018. &nbsp;In addition, the trees look absolutely spectacular when illuminated during the Holiday Season (last photos).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Note: &nbsp;As of 2020, one or two of these trees were dying (see fifth photo).]&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u200b<em>This amazing species has cones that contain an unpleasantly tasting resin that deters squirrels.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
