Description
The Cedrus deodara 'Golden Horizon' is a dwarf Himalayan cedar with bright golden green foliage. It has a beautiful spreading conical habit and slightly weeping branches. At maturity, it does not exceed 2m (6 ft 7 in) in height and is ideal for small to medium-sized gardens, becoming one of the star plants in just a few years.
The Cedrus deodara belongs to the Pinaceae family. It is native to temperate high-altitude forests (between 1500 and 3000m (4921 ft 4 in and 9842 ft 6 in) above sea level) covering the southern foothills of the Himalayas. Its distribution range extends from Afghanistan to Tibet, India, Nepal, and Pakistan. The 'Golden Horizon' cultivar reaches an average height of 2m (6 ft 7 in) with a spread of 3m. It has a fast growth rate and a generally conical and dense habit. It develops a very vertical trunk covered with a dark grey, cracked bark in large irregular scales. Its branches, almost horizontal, bear trailing secondary branches. The terminal shoots, also trailing, give it a slightly weeping appearance. The crown of this cedar does not flatten over the years. The needles are grouped together in clusters. Measuring 3 to 5cm (1.2 to 2 in) long, they are flexible and golden yellow when they emerge, becoming yellow-green in summer. In full sun, its foliage will be lighter than in shade. Female and male cones coexist on the same tree. They measure from 7 to 12cm (2.8 to 4.7 in) long and 5 to 9cm (2 to 3.5 in) wide. They are composed of fine scales, each housing a seed extended by a wing. These large seeds will germinate very easily after winter and exposure to cold.
The Cedrus deodara 'Golden Horizon' is a graceful conifer that is preferably planted as a standalone specimen to enjoy its beautiful silhouette. Its limited size allows it to fit into any garden, even small ones. Multiple plants can also be planted along a pathway. This pathway will then take on a completely different dimension and a style that is both original and romantic. Space the trees sufficiently so that they do not overcrowd each other later on. Surprisingly, the sacred cedar also lends itself very well to bonsai cultivation.

Planting and care
If you're planning on planting Himalayan cedar, there are a few things to keep in mind. These trees do best in humid climates during summer and can withstand cold weather. You can plant them in deep soil from September to November or February to June. The soil doesn't need anything special; avoid extremely acidic or chalky soil. Pick a sunny spot with plenty of space for the tree to grow. Don't disturb the tree after planting; its root system needs to anchor itself deeply to survive drought and wind. Water the tree regularly during the first few years, especially in summer. You can add organic amendments like soil improver or blood, fish and bone when planting. If you want, you can also apply a special fertiliser for conifers once a year in April and weed the soil in summer. You only need to prune the tree if you want it to grow in a specific shape or if branches die at the base of the trunk.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
