One of the most distinctive features of Cedars is their aroma. The wood has a sweet, spicy scent that is instantly recognizable and highly sought after for its use in various products. Cedarwood is especially popular in construction and furniture-making as it possesses natural preservatives that protect against decay and insect damage.

Cedars are also highly tolerant of salt, making them an ideal option for coastal regions or environments with salty soil. Finally, their natural beauty and symmetrical shape create a stunning visual impact in any landscape.
