Why Plant Shalimar Himalayan Cedar?
Shalimar Himalayan Cedar is a great choice when you want evergreen structure that feels polished and composed. The needles carry a cool blue-green tone that pairs beautifully with stone, brick, and deep green plantings, and the habit tends to be more upright and narrowly pyramidal, giving you height without an oversized footprint. It’s an evergreen that reads intentional in all four seasons, providing silhouette, texture, and steady color when the rest of the landscape is changing.
If you love the graceful look of Himalayan cedars but want something that stays more refined and upright, Shalimar brings that balance of softness and structure.
How to use Shalimar Himalayan Cedar in the landscape?
Plant it as a specimen evergreen where the upright form can define a space, at the corner of a home, as an anchor in a large foundation bed, or as a focal point in a lawn panel. It also works well in a spaced grouping along a property line when you want evergreen screening that looks natural and layered rather than clipped and uniform. Pair it with darker evergreens behind it to highlight the blue-green needles, and keep the base planting simple and low so the trunk and branching remain visible. Give it room to mature without crowding structures or overhead lines, and avoid heavy, wet soils to support healthy root establishment.

Shipping Delays:
From time to time, Bower & Branch Growers may determine to delay order shipment based on various factors for plant health. Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.
How Does Sizing Work?
The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)
Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.
All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
