blue atlas cedar

I got this blue atlas cedar on a deep discount and am wondering what the next steps should be. I cut off the top ~6-10 inches late this summer and am wanting to ultimately cut at the blue line. Does anyone agree/disagree? Would it be too early to chop it this spring? I’m also wondering if I can...

Hi all, I'm more of a lurker than a poster, but I've been wanting to post about this nursery stock find that I got last month at Lowe's. My partner talked one of the garden center staff into marking the tree on clearance, so we walked away with it for about $50. Here it is! A weeping Blue...

Does anyone have experience with Cedrus Atlantica - Sapphire Nymph? The only bonsai I could find was by Boon. It is low growing so any pics or ideas appreciated.

Hi everyone, I recently found a bonsai nursery near me that had a few blue Atlas cedars with the most intensely blue needles I’ve ever seen and I have not been able to get them off my mind. I didn’t pick one up because I realized I don’t really have a concept of what I should be looking for...

This Blue Atlas Cedar bonsai is one of the many trees owned by my Father in law. It was a full cascade then.. A couple years before Dad passed this tree (amongst others) was given to his oldest son. My better half and I repotted it over five years ago. Since then hadn’t seen the tree. A...

Hi all, I’ve be looking for a good nursery stock blue atlas cedar for over a year now and can’t find any good for bonsai. This past weekend I did find one for $99 and also 30% on sale. It has a trunk about 4 feet tall. Can this be air layered to shorten the trunk? I stupidly didn’t get a photo...

I’m not sure if I’m bad at the search function on this website but I have been struggling to find detailed information about collecting and growing a bonsai from a blue atlas cedar cone/seeds. (I can’t find any retailer that will ship a live blue atlas cedar nor seeds to Sweden. Hence why I’ll...

So this autumn I will order a lot of trees for a forest I want to plant and a few of those trees will be really young (4 y.o) atlas cedars grown from seed. I want to take one of these and start it's journey into bonsai. I was wondering if there are any niche things about this species that I...

Would now be ok to do a top chop on a Blue Atlas Cedar? It was de-burlapped and bonsai soiled early last year and has shown no signs of oll effect.

Hello all, first post here. I have a Blue Atlas Cedar that I got as cheap sickly nursery stock a year and a half ago. I got it to full health last year and now have it in a pond basket coiled into quite a lovely extreme shape with some 5mm wire (cant ground grow atm). The tree is fairly young...

Hey, if anyone is interested I picked up this Cedar from https://www.soonerplantfarm.com/ . It’s about 5’ tall 2 gallon container for $100 after shipping ! Where do I start haaaa. It seems super tall. Do I cut it shorter already or let it keep growing wild for a while. Its pring here in NY and...

Hi! I bought an Atlas Cedar just a little while back. I've wanted one for a really long time so when I saw this one in a garden center I picked one up. As it is it's pretty skinny, no trunk taper to speak of, I'm finding it a little hard to envision what the tree could potentially become. Was...

I picked this up at my local Home Depot for $49.99. I’ve never worked a blue atlas because they are usually much more expensive and thought this was a good one to start with. Obviously ground grown and probably local. Yes, I did dig down as far as I could to make sure there’s no ugly surprises...

Set the branches on this cedar back in February of this year. I'll thin it out as I decide on what to keep. I like subtle curves of the trunk.
