Blue Angel Lebanon Cedar

Blue Angel is an upright, tree-form cedar selected for exceptionally long powder-blue needles and a loose outline of twisted, pendant branchlets. Its narrow proportions make it useful where a blue evergreen accent is wanted without the broad spread of the species. The American Conifer Society reports a 12-foot height and 4-foot width after ten years, matching the live catalog dimensions. ## Foliage and form The [American Conifer Society profile](https://conifersociety.org/conifers/cedrus-libani-blue-angel) identifies the exact cultivar, describes its powder-blue needles and upright form, and records the 12-by-4-foot ten-year size. It notes that ‘Schiedel’s Weeping’ was an earlier provisional name. The tree’s blue foliage and pendant branch tips create year-round structure; it does not have the uniformly narrow, straight-sided shape of a true columnar plant. ## Maintenance Plant where the tree receives suitable light and has well-drained soil; the catalog does not specify a complete cultivar-level watering or hardiness range. Allow room for gradual growth and avoid shearing, which would obscure the open branching. Remove only damaged or misplaced branches as needed, preserving the natural upright silhouette.
