Cedars
CEDARS (Cedrus spp) are large, spreading, evergreen trees that thrive in temperate uplands. They require deep, rich soil and porous subsoil for optimal growth. These trees produce high-quality timber and valuable essential oils from their fragrant wood. It is important to note that they should not be planted near buildings.
CEDARS (Cedrus spp)
Lebanon
The Cedars (Cedrus spp) belong to the family PINACEAE. They are large, spreading, evergreen trees that primarily grow in temperate uplands. Cedars require a deep, rich soil and a porous subsoil for optimal growth. Despite being considered slow-growing, they can actually experience rapid growth under ideal conditions, reaching up to 16 meters in just 30 years. These trees are generally resistant to fungal diseases but can be vulnerable to drought. One notable characteristic of cedars is their excellent quality timber, which is highly valued. Additionally, valuable essential oils are extracted from their fragrant wood. It is important to note that cedars should not be planted near buildings.
A deep, rich soil and particularly a porous subsoil are preferred for maximum growth.
Family: PINACEAE
A large, spreading, evergreen tree which grows in temperate uplands.
All cedars require a deep, rich soil and particularly a porous subsoil for maximum growth. Although often claimed to be slow growing, the cedars can attain rapid growth in ideal condi-tions (up to 16 m in 30 years). They generally suffer few fungal diseases but are susceptible to drought.
All of the cedars produce excellent quality timber. Valuable essential oils are extracted from the fragrant wood.
They should not be planted near buildings.
