Deodar Cedar
The deodar cedar (Cedrus deodara) is a majestic evergreen tree native to the western Himalayas and other parts of South Asia. It is renowned for its graceful, drooping branches and its aromatic, needle-like leaves that emit a pleasant fragrance when crushed. Deodar cedars can attain impressive heights, often reaching 50 to 200 feet (15 to 60 meters) or more, and they are frequently planted as ornamental trees in gardens and parks around the world. The wood of the deodar cedar is highly valued for its durability and is used in construction, furniture making, and the crafting of musical instruments.
