Lebanon Cedar

Lebanon cedar, scientifically known as Cedrus libani, is a majestic evergreen tree native to the mountains of Lebanon, Syria, and Turkey. It features a broad, conical shape with bluish-green needles and large, rectangular, aromatic cones. Valued for its durable and fragrant wood, it has historically been used in building, shipmaking, and religious artifacts. The trees play a vital ecological role, supporting biodiversity and preventing soil erosion. As a symbol of resilience and heritage, Lebanon cedar is also recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, exemplifying both natural beauty and cultural significance.
