What is the largest known Atlas Cedar? NWENTS
February 14, 2009

Hello,

I recently measured an Atlas Cedar tree in Oregon at 302 AF Points (5’
4” DBH). I was trying to find what the largest Atlas Cedar is in the
US, but since this is a non-native tree, the data is hard to come by
and the National Register doesn’t track it.

The tree I measured is an Atlas Cedar, not a Blue Atlas Cedar. I
checked each states champion registry. Not all list non-native trees.
Some are very outdated lists.

The largest documented Atlas Cedar I could find is a 310 AF point in
Washington state as measured in 1992.

Does anyone know what the largest is?

Greetings,

I have measured 350 point Atlas cedars in Washington, Oregon, and
California.

Max dimensions rank from 125 feet tall to 6.3 feet in diameter, and
110 feet wide.

For Oregon, there is a 360 point tree in Sherwood, at 110 NE 2nd St.

It may have been cut down - I seem to remember it being near a
sidewalk.

Cheers,
