The Cedar of Lebanon – Cedrus libani stands as a living monument to ancient times, its majestic presence gracing gardens and landscapes for centuries. This slow-growing conifer, given time and space, can transform into an impressive specimen, potentially reaching towering heights of 35 metres or more. Its distinctive horizontal branches create the iconic flat-topped layers that have become the tree’s signature silhouette. The needles, short and deep green, densely cover the branches, providing a rich, textured appearance throughout the seasons.
Young Cedar of Lebanon trees display a pyramidal form, gradually developing the famous flat-topped crown as they age, a feature that has made them favourites in grand gardens and parks. In autumn, large upright cones appear prominently on the upper branches, taking a couple of years to mature before naturally disintegrating to disperse their seeds.
This tree’s appeal extends beyond its visual grandeur – it’s also notably hardy. Once established, it shows remarkable tolerance to drought and resistance to wind. It plays a crucial role in supporting wildlife, providing valuable shelter for birds and small mammals. While historically prized for its durable and fragrant timber, today these trees are primarily grown for their ornamental value and historical significance.

Our unique tall 9cm pots is a smart strategy for cultivating trees with strong and deep root systems. This practice can lead to healthier and more resilient trees that are better prepared for transplantation and long-term growth in your UK garden.
Promoting Deep Root Development with Tall 9cm Pots:
1. Enhanced Root Growth: Using tall pots, such as 9cm pots, encourages trees to develop a deeper and more extensive root system. The added height of the pot allows the tree’s roots to grow downward, seeking nutrients and water in the lower soil layers.
2. Reduced Root Circling: Traditional, shallower pots can sometimes lead to root circling, where the roots grow in a circular pattern around the pot’s base. This can restrict the tree’s ability to access essential resources. Tall pots mitigate this issue, as roots are less likely to encounter physical barriers that encourage circling.
3. Improved Stability: The additional depth provided by tall pots offers improved stability for young trees. It allows for better anchoring and support, which is particularly important during periods of strong winds or inclement weather.
4. Better Soil Temperature Regulation: Tall pots offer improved insulation for the root system. This can help maintain more stable soil temperatures, protecting the roots from extreme heat or cold. This is crucial for healthy root development, especially in the unpredictable UK climate.
5. Reduced Transplant Shock: When it’s time to transplant a tree from a tall pot into the ground, the deeper root system developed in the tall pot can reduce transplant shock. The tree is better equipped to establish itself in its new environment.
6. Versatility: Tall pots are versatile and can accommodate a wide range of tree species. They are particularly useful for growing trees that have a taproot, which naturally grows deeper.
