Why Plant Silver Tip Atlas Cedar?
Silver Tip Atlas Cedar is chosen for contrast you can see from across the yard. The blue needles provide cool, steady color, and in spring the new growth pushes with bright silvery-white tips, creating a crisp, highlighted effect that makes the whole tree look luminous. The form is naturally strong and evergreen, giving the landscape structure in every season, especially winter when shape and texture matter most.
It’s a high-impact conifer that looks polished without being fussy. If you want one tree that brings year-round design value and a standout spring detail, this one checks both boxes.
How to use Silver Tip Atlas Cedar in the landscape?
Plant it as a focal evergreen where the silver-tipped growth can be seen from key views, near an entry approach, beside a patio, or in a front yard bed. It looks especially clean against dark green backdrops, so place it near deep green hedges or evergreens to amplify the blue needles and make the spring tips pop. Give it space to develop a balanced pyramid shape, and keep nearby plantings lower and simpler so the texture and color remain the feature. Use stone, gravel, or a clean mulch ring at the base to keep the presentation crisp and architectural.

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!
