Plants will ship early June 🙂
Cedar of Lebanon (Cedrus libani) potted tree in a 9-inch-deep pot, organic
$31.00
Family: Pine (Pinaceae)
Hardy to Zones 5 to 9
Evergreen tree native to the Mediterranean and capable of reaching a height of 130 feet. Mentioned 75 times in The Bible. The strong and aromatic wood of this stately tree has been extensively used in construction, historically used for providing masts for the ships of the Phoenicians, framework for the pharonic tombs and King Solomon’s Temple in Jerusalem. The bark was used medicinally for treating leprosy, and the heartwood is distilled to make an expensive healing essential oil. Tree prefers full sun to part shade and is highly adaptable, growing in various soils. One large individual that we planted on our farm in the early days was nearly consumed by goats, but bounced back (we used comfrey poultices) and is now over 100 feet tall, with an impressive spread of branches. This tree is good energy no matter where it grows or how it is used. We are glad to offer it up!

hello chantea, thanks for ceching in. we thought they would grow faster–its already been 2 years and they are still too small to plant. it’ll probably be another 2 years before we list them. sorry for the wait! richo

hi rr, i’m sorry to say we can ship only seeds and books to Canada, not potted trees. I am holding onto the next population of Cedar of Lebanon for another year to size them up. Richo

Richo,
Do you know when the potted Lebanon of Cedar saplings will be available? I bought one about 2 years ago and it’s doing great in my yard in Central Texas, just wanted to add a couple more.
Thank you,

Hi Ben, nice report. I do have a population of these going and now that i know where a couple of them are bound to go i’ll hold onto them until they are big enough to make it in texas. and texas likes things big. so it’ll be 2 years from now. they look good, though. r

Kelly Armbrust –
I worry about cedar rust as well? Are these types of cedars susceptible to cedar rust? I would love to find a way to make this work. And think the Cedars of Lebanon may be in a different family than the type that can infect apple trees??

Hi Kelly, Yes, Cedar Rust (which we don’t have here) affects plants in the Rosaceae. Cedar of Lebanon is in the Pinaceae. Anyone wanting one of these top size Cedar of Lebanon needs to order now. These will be sold out in a few days if not a few hours. We have another planting coming on that will be available for sale in a year or two. Richo

Hello Cecile, We ship seeds and books to Canada. We cannot ship plants and roots to Canada. I wish there were no boundaries between us! Everyone in Canada please take note–Cecile’s question is very common. Here’s a link to our shipping policies https://strictlymedicinalseeds.com/shipping-info/

I’m so surprised to see these trees! I had no idea that they were still a species and available! Can’t wait to get some for our new farm when we find it! We’re in NE Ohio…can we grow them? Thank you for sharing them! Too Cool!
