The Cedar-of-Lebanon is a biblical tree that has fascinated tree lovers for centuries. It is a beautiful conifer and can live a thousand years in its native Turkey. Scholars believe that the cedar was the great tree of Solomon's temple.
The Lebanon Cedar has a sharp, four-sided needle, more or less an inch long and in spur shoots of 30 to 40 needles per spur. Each of the four sides of the needle has tiny dotted white lines of stomata visible under magnification.
