'''''Cedrus deodara''''' (Deodar Cedar, Himalayan Cedar, or Deoda) is a species of [[Cedrus|cedar]] native to the western [[Himalayas]], occurring at 1500–3200 m altitude. It is a large [[evergreen]] [[Pinophyta|coniferous]] [[tree]] reaching 40–50 m tall, exceptionally 60 m, with a trunk up to 3 m diameter. It has a conic crown with level branches and drooping branchlets.<ref name=farjon>Farjon, A. (1990). ''Pinaceae. Drawings and Descriptions of the Genera''. Koeltz Scientific Books ISBN 3-87429-298-3.</ref> The [[leaf|leaves]] are needle-like, mostly 2.5–5 cm long, occasionally up to 7 cm long, slender (1 mm thick), borne singly on long shoots, and in dense clusters of 20-30 on short shoots; they vary from bright green to glaucous blue-green in colour. The female [[conifer cone|cones]] are barrel-shaped, 7–13 cm long and 5–9 cm broad, and disintegrate when mature (in 12 months) to release the winged [[seed]]s. The male cones are 4–6 cm long, and shed their [[pollen]] in autumn.<ref name=farjon/> t is widely grown as an [[ornamental tree]], much planted in [[park]]s and large [[garden]]s for its drooping foliage. General cultivation is limited to areas with mild winters, with trees frequently killed by temperatures below about −25 °C, limiting it to [[hardiness zone]]s 8 and warmer for reliable growth.<ref name=odum>Ødum, S. (1985). Report on frost damage to trees in Denmark after the severe 1981/82 and 1984/85 winters. Hørsholm Arboretum, Denmark.</ref> It is commonly grown in western [[Europe]] (north to [[Scotland]]), in the [[Mediterranean region]], around the [[Black Sea]], in southern and central [[China]], on the west coast of [[North America]] as far north as [[Vancouver, British Columbia]], in the southeastern [[United States]] from [[Texas]] to [[Virginia]], and in [[South Africa]]. The most cold-tolerant trees originate in the northwest of the species' range in [[Kashmir]] and [[Paktia Province]], Afghanistan. Selected [[cultivar]]s from this region are hardy to zone 7 or even zone 6 [USDA zone, UK zone, which one?], tolerating temperatures down to about −30 °C.<ref name=odum/> Named cultivars from this region include 'Eisregen', 'Eiswinter', 'Karl Fuchs', 'Kashmir', 'Polar Winter', and 'Shalimar'.<ref name=welch>Welch, H., & Haddow, G. (1993). ''The World Checklist of Conifers''. Landsman's ISBN 0-900513-09-8.</ref><ref name=krussmann>Krüssmann, G. (1983). ''Handbuch der Nadelgehölze'', 2nd ed. Paul Parey ISBN 3-489-62622-2 (in German).</ref> Of these, 'Eisregen', 'Eiswinter', 'Karl Fuchs', and 'Polar Winter' were selected in [[Germany]] from seed collected in Paktia; 'Kashmir' was a selection of the nursery trade, whereas 'Shalimar' originated from seeds collected in 1964 from Shalimar Gardens, India (in the Kashmir region) and propagated at the [[Arnold Arboretum]].<ref name=welch/> ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Varieties== ==Gallery== <gallery perrow=5> Image:Deodar shoots.jpg|''Cedrus deodara'' needles Image:Deodar Cedar Cedrus deodara 'Gold Cone' Needle Closeup 3264px.jpg|''Cedrus deodara'' 'Gold Cone' needles Image:Cedrus deodara Lokrum.jpg|''Cedrus deodara'' at [[Lokrum]], [[Croatia]] Image:Pedrengo cedro nel parco Frizzoni.jpg|''Cedrus deodara'' at [[Pedrengo]], [[Bergamo]] Image:RS - 24 (Cèdre de l'Himalaya).JPG|''Cedrus deodara'' Image:Deodar sunrise.JPG| ''Cedrus deodara''s at sunrise in [[Alton, Hampshire|Alton]], [[Hampshire]] </gallery> ==References== <references/>    ==External links== *{{wplink}} {{stub}} __NOTOC__
