Weeping Deodar Cedar
Cedrus deodara 'pendula'

Location: 36501 Niles Blvd.
Park: California Nursery Historical Park
District: Niles
Native to: Asia
Tree type: conifer
Leaf retention: evergreen

Comments: Evergreen conifer, native to the Himalayas in India. This species has green to blue-green needles, and light green female cones bourn on the upper surface of the branch. Though most Deodar have a somewhat weeping habit, this cultivar exagerates this feature. According to Nelson Kirk, this specimen is likely the largest of its kind in California.
