'Fastigiata' ('Columnaris', 'Columnaris Erecta') - click image
Gotelli Collection, US National Arboretum. Spring 2004. Several decades has made this plant just more narrow and not really fastigiate. The color remains bright at the tips.

'Fastigiata' ('Columnaris', 'Columnaris Erecta') - click image
Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden, Richmond VA USA. Summer 2003. A young 'Fastigiata' in it's more curious spiky phase. It's certainly a choice for a third of the specie's footprint
but we think most people would prefer the powder blue of a good 'Glauca'.

Cedrus atlantica 'Fastigiata' ('Columnaris', 'Columnaris Erecta')
ht: 70 ft. tall x 6-10 ft. wide, some plants prove much wider
ha: columnar, laterals very short, older plants more narrowly pyramidal to ovoid and often quite fine-textured and a bit spiky.
lc: blue-green, not usually as silvery or blue as most 'Glauca' today, the older growth being more dark and green. It tends to be a bicolor of blue and green when plants are vigorous with
lc: ample portions of both recent and older needles. Some older plants without much blue new tissue are much more green.
or: Lalande, Nantes, France before 1890 - the same folks known for Pyracantha coccinea 'Lalandei'

Longwood Gardens. June 2005. These century plus mammoths are rich frosty silver-blue and amongst the finest
seen anywhere in the US. The problem with new, grand estates is that one has to wait 150 years to get scenary
this grand.

Administration Building, US National Arboretum. June 2005. This is far from the largest blue atlas in the Americas but
like real estate there is a good bit of profitability giving to location and neighborhood value. This beauty sits outside the
main USNA building in a courtyard and it situated in a very nice spot.

Bonsai Pavillion, US National Arboretum. June 2005. An grand, super blue cedar does not require a huge lawn and
a quarter acre of admiring space. Note how the black glazed pot brings out the dark, contrasting bark. There are
bonsai experts who favor the true cedars for their projects. Get to a forum or nursery who can help you and
good things are a few years and a few cubic feet away.

Cedrus atlantica f. glauca 'Glauca' (f. argentea Murr., Glauca Group)
lc: more intensely, glaucous blue, usually silvery-blue in gardens
or: occurs in the wild and is a genetic range occuring in seedbeds and nature both.
ns: the RHS use Glauca Group but as it occurs in the wild, we prefer the botanical forma.

'Glauca Fastigiata'? - click image
Tyler Arboretum. June 2005. This plant was labeled as 'Glauca' (columnar form) and may perhaps belong to this
cultiva or at least a very similar concept - narrow erect and bluer than 'Fastigiata'. It surely must be one of the
largest one's in the eastern US. The plant is a tad more blue than the usual 'Fastigiata' and we could not possibly
assign it there. In any event, one is well advised to propagate this superior Tyler tree for its remains dense and
narrow and quite dense for many decades.

Cedrus atlantica f. glauca 'Glauca Fastigiata' ('Glauca Victoria')
ha: narrowly pyramidal, branches erect and upswept at times

Cedrus atlantica f. glauca 'Glauca Pendula'
ha: broadly weeping, forming irregular and spreading mounds. Plants are often trained to

ha: very ornately arranged combinations of stakes and bamboo. We've even seen plants trained in shapes
ha: that are best described as resembling a grazing blue woolly mammoth. In some more affluent US
ha: neighborhoods it has been popular (as least with their designers and architects) to place a single specimen
ha: on the sprawling front lawn as a statement or status symbol.
