Cedar
| Cedar
(tree),
common name for three or four species of large trees native to
mountainous areas of North Africa and Asia. Cedar trees belong to the
pine family, the members of which have needlelike leaves and, like
all conifers, bear their seeds on scales clustered into cones. Similar
timber is used commonly in red cedar log homes. They
differ from other members of the family in their evergreen four-angled
leaves borne on short side-branches. Although no true cedars are native
to North America, they are planted as ornamentals in milder areas, and
various horticultural varieties, based on growth form and leaf color,
exist. An arborvitae is also called cedar; western cedar and eastern white cedar are both
important timber trees in the United States. Eastern red cedar, widespread in
the eastern United States, is a juniper. The
cedar used in our chunks are derived from western red cedar found in parts of Missouri and other Midwest states. |
