Comments:
This cedar has bundles of 15-35 needles that grow on short stems, like larch needles. The needles are about 1 inch long and vary in color from green to blue-green. The cones are up to 4 inches (10 cm.) tall, sit upright on the branch, and fall apart at maturity, dispersing both seeds and scales. This tree was important to ancient civilizations of the eastern Mediterranean region. It was used to build ships, palaces and temples, most notably King Solomon’s Temple.
