The Cedars of Lebanon are a species of coniferous trees known scientifically as *Cedrus libani*. These majestic trees are native to the mountainous regions of the eastern Mediterranean, particularly in Lebanon, Syria, and Turkey. They can grow up to 40 meters tall and are characterized by their thick, straight trunks and wide, spreading branches. The wood of the cedar is highly valued for its durability and resistance to decay. Historically, the Cedars of Lebanon have significant cultural and religious importance. They are mentioned in ancient texts, including the Bible, where they symbolize strength and longevity. The trees have been used for construction, particularly in building temples and ships, due to their high-quality timber. Today, they are a symbol of national pride in Lebanon and are protected as a natural heritage.
