Hello,

Can anyone advise on this tree?

Many thanks

Brian.

Sorry, I wasn't clear.

I was looking for confirmation (or otherwise) of the ident.

 

Thanks again.

A good guide to identifying Cedars is;

 

Cedrus Atlantica (Atlas Cedar) has Ascending branches

 

Cedrus Libani (Cedar of Lebannon) has Level branches

 

Cedrus Deodar (Himalayan Cedar) has Descending branches.

 

The others (Turkish/Cypriot) cedars are glaucous have blue/green foilage.

Thanks,

 

Bolthole - I often remember the Cedars like that too.

 

But I wasn't confident about that particular tree - I thought it had quite a random branch structure. Neither the branches themselves nor the growing tips appear to be at all consistent.

 

It certainly had blue/ green foliage.

 

Cheers,

Brian

Certainly has the silvery bark of atlantica.
