Needles are longer and less lush than Atlas cedar. Color is light green (new growth) to dark green (old growth).
Female cones are larger than Atlas cedar; there are fewer on tree.
Branching is more layered than other Cedrus species.
Very rare in Portland. #6 was probably planted some time in the late 19th century by Henry Miller, one of Portland’s first florists.
