Common Name: Comte De Dijon Cedar Of Lebanon
A distinctive upright, narrowly columnar selection of Cedar of Lebanon, valued for its strong vertical habit and blue-green needles. ‘Comte de Dijon’ maintains a much tighter silhouette than the species, especially in youth, while gradually developing subtle horizontal layering with age. Ideal where the grandeur of Cedrus libani is desired but space is limited. Plant Characteristics Type: Evergreen conifer Form: Narrowly upright to columnar when young; slightly broader with maturity Mature Width: 15–25 ft Mature Height: 50–70 ft Foliage Color: Blue-green to gray-green Texture: Coarse, architectural Growing Conditions USDA Hardiness Zones: 6a–9b Light: Full sun Soil: Average to well-drained soils; prefers neutral to slightly alkaline Water: Moderate; drought tolerant once established Maintenance: Low; minimal pruning—natural form is best Landscape Uses Vertical specimen, narrow lawns, formal plantings, estates, campuses, and large landscapes where a slender Cedar of Lebanon is required. Care Tips Provide room for eventual width as the tree matures Avoid wet or compacted soils Do not over-prune; form improves naturally with age
