This coniferous evergreen tree is native to the western Himalayas and is widely grown as an ornamental tree in various parts of the world. In botanical terms, deodar is referred to as Cedrus deodara. Other synonyms for the word "deodars" or Himalayan cedars include Lebanon cedar, Atlas cedar, and Cyprus cedar, all of which belong to the same genus Cedrus. All of these trees are tall, majestic, and aromatic with long needle-like leaves and cone-like fruit structures.
