Cedar
(cedrus)
There are only 3 ‘true’ Cedars you are likely to see in Britain – the Atlas Cedar, the Cedar of Lebanon and the Deodar. Cedar tree identification is by overall tree shape, needle cluster size, and needle colour, length and softness. They can be difficult to tell apart but generally Atlas Cedars have upward pointing tips to their branches, Deodar’s tips point downwards and those of the Cedar of Lebanon are flat. All three have similar cones. The Incense Cedar, Japanese Red Cedar and Western Red Cedar are not ‘true’ cedars. They get their names from having wood that smells similar to the ‘true’ cedars but their needles and cones are quite different.
