Cedrus
atlantica f.
glauca

This
would eventually make a 130 foot forest tree, but was planted
in my 3/4 acre garden, probably around 1940 when the bungalow
was built, and well before I moved in. It's getting quite large
now, but will probably see me out. It carries male and female
cones. The above are the male ones which shed clouds of yellow
pollen. Its steel-grey foliage is very lovely all year round,
but don't be tempted to plant one unless you own spacious parkland.
(Pinaceae family)
