Growing Tips for Cedrus deodara 'Aurea'
This evergreen thrives in a variety of soils, but avoid soggy sites, and plant in full sun for the best foliage color. Water deeply in the first few years to establish roots, then reduce watering as it becomes drought-tolerant. Feed with a general-purpose fertilizer in early spring. Deer and rabbit resistant, it also tolerates coastal exposure and urban pollution, making it a low-maintenance, versatile choice.
