Blue Atlas Cedars mature to over 50 in height. Plant it with room to grow. Professionally moving a tree can be very expensive. They drop needles and sometimes cones (if they have them) so you may not want this tree over a walkway or any structure that must be swept, and certainly not over your roof.

The Cedar Elm grows naturally in Texas in almost any soil and tolerates intermittent rain and dry conditions. This cedar has a rounded crown with glossy green leaves that have a thick sandpaper like texture.

As Cedar Elms start to mature the rougher bark starts to form and is light brown to gray which is highly ridged and deeply furrowed.
