Cedar of Lebanon is a large evergreen conifer, growing 40 to 60 feet tall and 25 to 50 feet wide, though it will do so slowly. It has a pyramidal form in its youth spreading out and becoming more flat topped as it ages. The needles are a dark green; 3-inch long cones are purple-brown; and bark is a warm grey-brown. This is a very larg tree and needs to be planted where it will have ample room.
Plant in full sun and well drained soil. Prefers a deep, loamy-clay soil. Intolerant of shade. Does well in dry, arid climates. Somewhat difficult to transplant which may account for it being not more available. Cedar of Lebanon is very cold hardy, listed as USDA Zone 5, and rated as hardy to -15 to 25F.
