A grand old Cedar of Lebanon is a glorious status symbol in front of a stately house, even when a few limbs have dropped off over the centuries. It says more than a sculpture, or a perfect turning circle, because it can’t be bought: the majestically spreading character of Cedrus libani only reveals itself as the tree approaches its 100th birthday.
When Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown dotted them around his landscapes in the mid-18th century – as an accent, with informal groupings of native oak, beech and lime – they were still quite mysterious, having only arrived on these shores about 100 years before. By the time they reached their apex of beauty in the 20th century, landowners had long since stopped planting them.
