Cedrus deodara Gold Cone
Common Name: Gold Cone Deodora Cedar
A compact, narrowly upright deodar cedar prized for its golden-yellow new growth and tidy, conical form. Foliage emerges bright gold in spring, softening to chartreuse-gold as the season progresses, while retaining the species’ signature graceful, slightly pendulous branch tips. Its restrained size and strong vertical habit make it an excellent choice for smaller landscapes needing color and structure. Plant Characteristics Type: Evergreen conifer Form: Narrowly conical, upright Mature Width: 6–10 ft Mature Height: 15–20 ft Foliage Color: Golden yellow to chartreuse Texture: Fine to medium, refined Growing Conditions USDA Hardiness Zones: 6b–9b Light: Full sun (best color) Soil: Average, well-drained soils; intolerant of wet sites Water: Moderate; drought tolerant once established Maintenance: Low; little to no pruning required Landscape Uses Specimen tree, vertical accent, foundation plantings, entry features, and mixed conifer gardens. Ideal where a golden evergreen with a tight footprint is desired. Care Tips Plant in full sun to maintain strong gold coloration Avoid poorly drained soils Allow room for mature height despite narrow width
