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.
  • Watering: Provide consistent moisture during the first few years to encourage a strong root system; once established, requires minimal supplemental watering except in prolonged dry periods.
  • 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.
