Botanical name:Calocedrus decurrens
The Cedar is an attractive, stiff, narrow evergreen tree which has a columnar growing pattern and maintains a central leader. The foliage is aromatic, dark green and needle-like, while the coarse bark has an attractive cinnamon red-brown coloring. The cedar retains its color in winter and under good cultural conditons, will maintain its foliage to the ground. It grows slowly to about 30' tall and 8'-12' wide. Brown cones are on the tree most of the year, attracting birds for the seeds.
