 | | The Deodar Cedar Cedrus deodara (also known as Himalayan Cedar, or Deodar) is a species of cedar native to the western Himalaya in eastern Afghanistan, northern Pakistan, Kashmir, northwest India, southwesternmost Tibet and western Nepal, occurring at 1500-3200 m altitude. |
 | | It is a large evergreen coniferous tree reaching 40-50 m tall, exceptionally 60 m, with a trunk up to 3 m diameter. |
 | | Deodar Cedar is a very elegant ornamental tree, much planted in parks and large gardens for its graceful drooping foliage, though it can only be grown where winters are mild, never falling below about -25°C (USDA hardiness zone 8-9, with selected origins hardy to zone 7). |
