Deodar, also known as Cedrus deodara, is a type of evergreen tree native to the western Himalayas. It is characterized by its tall stature, reaching heights of up to 60 meters, and its distinctive, needle-like leaves that grow in clusters. The tree produces large, barrel-shaped cones and has a straight trunk with a conical crown, making it a popular choice for landscaping and timber. Deodar wood is highly valued for its durability and resistance to decay, making it suitable for construction and furniture. Additionally, the tree holds cultural significance in various regions, often associated with spirituality and traditional practices in Hinduism and Buddhism.
