These are the only true cedars, but many other trees are commonly known as cedars, such as the Atlantic white-cedar, the Northern white-cedar, the Eastern redcedar and the Western redcedar. When cedar is used to describe native trees of the U.S., it refers to a group of conifers or "cone-bearing" trees that have very fragrant wood. These are arborvitaes, or "false" cedars. The Lebanon cedar is a large tree, growing up to 130 feet. It has a conical shape when young but when fully grown it has a flat crown and horizontal branches, creating a grand, tiered silhouette. It has grayish-brown bark and short, dark green needles. The Atlas cedar is a medium-sized cedar, reaching up to 60 feet in height. When fully grown, it is a flat-topped tree with horizontal branching. It has a dark gray bark with fine, flat scales, and blue-green to silvery blue evergreen needles. The slightly smaller, pyramid-shaped Deodar cedar grows to about 50 feet and has soft grayish-green or blue needles and drooping branches. The cedar tree had a significant role in ancient culture. The Lebanon cedar is frequently mentioned in the Bible and was used to build King Solomon's Temple and to seal David's house. Cedarwood oil, extracted from the foliage, woods and roots of the cedar tree, was one of the first ingredients in perfumery. The ancient Sumerians used cedarwood oil as a base for paints, and ancient Egyptians used it in embalming practices.
