Golden Horizon is an interesting variety of Himalayan cedar with weeping branches. The needles are evergreen, yellow-green when young and in summer, turning blue-green as they mature and in the shade. The shape of the shrub is irregular, making horizontal branches with weeping ends.
It grows slowly. Pruning is not required, trimming is possible in the spring. Cedars are widely soil adaptable if well-drained. In regions with cold winters mulching is necessary. Fully hardy to min. -21°C (USDA zone 6b).
