The deodar cedar, scientifically known as Cedrus deodara, is a tall evergreen tree native to the western Himalayas. It can grow up to 60 meters in height and is known for its graceful, drooping branches and soft, needle-like leaves. The tree produces large, cylindrical cones that contain seeds, and its wood is highly valued for its durability and resistance to decay. Deodar cedar thrives in mountainous regions and prefers well-drained soil and full sunlight. It is often used in landscaping and reforestation projects due to its attractive appearance and ability to withstand harsh conditions. Additionally, the tree holds cultural significance in various regions, often associated with spirituality and longevity.
