Description

Blue Alaskan Cedar creates a stunning vertical statement in the landscape with its fresh, bluish-green needles and gently arching branches. This magnificent evergreen keeps a satisfying splash of color year-round, forming a polished focal point that adds refreshing interest among other plantings. Its naturally narrow profile makes it an excellent choice for modest areas where a showstopper conifer can provide year-round elegance. Deer typically avoid this tree, reinforcing its status as one of the finest options for low-maintenance beauty.

General Care

  • Sunlight: Prefers full sun to partial shade, requiring at least 4–6 hours of direct or dappled light daily.
  • Soil: Thrives in well-drained, slightly acidic soil; amending heavier conditions with organic matter can enhance drainage.
  • Watering: Keep evenly moist in the first few years to establish robust roots. Once established, Blue Alaskan Cedar tolerates brief dry spells but performs best with consistent moisture, especially during prolonged heat.
  • Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch around the root zone to retain moisture and moderate soil temperatures; keep mulch slightly away from the trunk.
  • Pruning: Generally needs minimal pruning; if desired, shape lightly in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges.

Blue Alaskan Cedar offers a gorgeous combination of refined color, architectural form, and year-round interest, making it a refreshing, modern addition to Michigan landscapes.
