Common Uses:
Did you Know? Cedrus deodara, commonly known as the Deodar cedar, is a majestic evergreen coniferous tree native to the western Himalayas, spanning regions like India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. The name "Deodar" is derived from Sanskrit, meaning "timber of the gods," highlighting the tree's sacred and revered status in local cultures. These trees are known for their towering height, with some individuals reaching up to 200 feet (60 meters). The Deodar cedar is characterised by its graceful, drooping branches and long, needle-like leaves, which are arranged in clusters. The cones of the tree are large, and barrel shaped. The wood of Cedrus deodara is highly prised for its durability, aromatic fragrance, and resistance to insects, making it a valuable timber for construction and furniture.
Beyond its practical uses, the Deodar cedar holds cultural significance. In Hindu mythology, it is associated with Lord Shiva, and the wood is often used in religious ceremonies and the construction of temples.
