Cedrus
deodara 'Argentea' ('Silver'?)
lc: rich silvery-blue, less dark a blue than
'Bill's Blue' and some others.
ns: the common name "Silver Deodar Cedar" is applied to this old clone. It
is
ns: not clear if the plant sold merely as 'Silver' in the US is traceable to it
or not.
ns: the plants seem to match but doubtless various silver seedling or mutations
ns: will occur as these are normal genetic ranges in most conifer species.

Cedrus
deodara 'Aurea'
ha: pyramidal
lc: golden yellow becoming yellow-green by fall. It seems most
appealing as young plants under 30 years or so.
lc: older trees are often less vigorous, giving fewer and paler
yellow tips in spring and summer. It is best used in
lc: our opinion near blue and dark green examples of the genus
where the contrasts will be sharp for many
lc: decades.
'Aurea Pendula'

JC Raulston Arboretum. Fall 2003. It should have been called 'Aurea Horizontalis'
for it only droops a bit. It is gold enough for a couple of
weeks each spring and is rather pale yellowish-green thereafter. I like
'Golden Horizon' for a spreading drooping cultivar.
