Calocedrus decurrens

The Calocedrus decurrens, commonly known as the Incense Cedar, is a majestic evergreen conifer native to the western United States. It is known for its tall, columnar shape and aromatic wood. The tree's bark is thick and fibrous, providing a striking contrast to its lush, scale-like foliage.

Ideal for use as a specimen tree, in windbreaks, or as a privacy screen in large gardens and parks. Its aromatic wood is also valued for crafting and construction.
