Like most other Conifers, this tree suffers from wind The tree at Ashfield, above noted, extends on the 
east side, where it is sheltered from cutting winds, 20 feet from the trunk over the spread of its branches; 
and on the west side, where it experiences the cutting effects of heavy gales, it only extends 10 feet. The 
slow growth of the trees at Wellington College, and at Harewood, in Yorkshire, is probably attributable to 
this cause. 
At Eastnor Castle, Herefordshire, there are some fine young trees, of the variety called Cedrus 
A tlantica argentea; and there can be no doubt as to their being genuine descendants of the African 
species; for they were raised from cones gathered by Lord Somers himself in Temet el Haad, Mount 
Atlas, and planted in the year 1845. The height of the tallest in December i860 was 185 feet; in 
December 1861, 21 feet; in December 1862, 23 feet; and in December 1866, 31 feet; shewing almost 
as great a rapidity of growth as the Deodar.
