Cedar Occid Primo is a compact, pyramidal evergreen with dense, feathery foliage in a rich green hue that maintains its color year-round. Its branching structure is tight and upright, giving it a well-groomed, formal appearance, making it an excellent choice for hedging, specimen planting, or foundation planting. The tree produces small, inconspicuous cones, and its bark is lightly furrowed with a gray-brown tone. Resistant to wind and adaptable to various soils, this cedar cultivar is known for its resilience and low-maintenance nature.
