Cedrus (Cedar trees)

Cedrus, commonly known as cedar trees, are coniferous trees belonging to the pine family. They are native to mountainous regions of the Western Himalayas and the Mediterranean. Cedars are known for their tall, straight trunks and aromatic wood, which is resistant to decay and often used in furniture, construction, and outdoor projects. The wood’s pleasant scent also helps repel insects. These trees can live for hundreds of years and have cultural significance in various traditions, symbolizing strength and resilience. Popular species include the Cedar of Lebanon and Himalayan cedar.
