Cedrus consists of substantial evergreen trees characterized by needle-like foliage that forms a spiral pattern on young branches and appears in whorls on shorter spur-like shoots. The ovoid cones disintegrate to disperse seeds while remaining attached to the tree.

Cedrus

Cedrus atlantica is a sizable evergreen conifer that exhibits a conical shape in its youth, gradually expanding into a broader silhouette as it matures. The tree features branches that extend horizontally and young shoots covered in fine hairs. Its leaves are narrow and needle-like, reaching lengths of up to 3.5 cm, and display a muted green to grey-green hue. The tree produces barrel-shaped cones that stand upright, taking two years to ripen to a brown color before disintegrating while still attached to the branches.
