Atlas Cedar Origin

The Atlas cedar (Cedrus atlantica) belongs to the pine family (Pinaceae) and is native to the mountainous regions of North Africa. It owes its name to the Atlas Mountains in Morocco and Algeria. The Atlas cedar is an evergreen, imposing tree species with a broad, conical crown and can reach heights of up to 40 meters. Due to its robustness and attractive growth habit, it is often planted as a park and garden tree in Europe.

Atlas Cedar Care and Location

The Atlas cedar prefers a sunny location with well-drained, sandy-loamy soil. It is very drought-resistant and generally requires little maintenance. However, young trees should be protected from severe frost in their first few years, as they can be sensitive to extreme cold. You can use a fleece, for example, to achieve this.

Cutting Atlas cedar

Regular pruning is not necessary for the Atlas cedar, as it naturally develops a beautiful growth habit. If necessary, dead or damaged branches can be removed in late winter or early spring.

Here you can find more information about Cutting trees.

Fertilizing Atlas Cedar

The Atlas cedar requires little fertilizer because it is adapted to nutrient-poor soils. However, an occasional application of compost or a slow-release organic fertilizer in spring can support its growth. Young trees, in particular, can benefit from a layer of organic mulch, as this also regulates soil moisture.

Watering Atlas Cedar

The Atlas cedar is very drought-resistant and requires little water. As with all trees, the Atlas cedar should be watered regularly in the first few years after planting to allow its root system to develop. For older trees, watering during prolonged periods of drought and heat is sufficient. Waterlogging should be avoided at all costs.

In general, there are Watering trees There are some general guidelines to follow. Here are the most important points:

Trees should generally be watered with plenty of water per watering. The ideal amount is between 75 and 100 liters. This ensures that the water can actually reach the tree's root area.
The water should be released as slowly as possible so the soil can absorb it. If the water is applied too quickly, much of it will run off the surface, as dry soil can only absorb a small amount of water. This is one reason why we recommend using tree watering bags.
The baumbad watering bags They release water drop by drop into the soil through small holes over a period of several hours. This ensures even soil moisture throughout the entire root zone, allowing the roots to absorb the water well.
The watering bag is placed around the tree trunk like a jacket and zipped shut. Once filled with water, the bag releases water continuously over a period of several hours.
