I'm outside Columbus, OH. I LOVE the "true Cedars" and want to try one.
1. Which is hardier? The "Himalayan" Cedrus deodara, like "Karl Fuchs" and "eisgren" or the "stenocomas (C. libani var. stenocoma)? Both have been mentioned as doable in my area, which is essentially a zone 5b or 6a (we've been as cold as -10F in the last decade, usually not that cold, but past decades have been colder). I like the softer look of the deodara, but have heard stenocoma is hardier. Are both worth trying?
2. Is there a good local/semi local (within 3 to 4 hrs drive) of LARGER sized specimens of the above-mentioned plants? Something bigger than 12' tall or so.
