Physical Description
Spanish Cedar is a large, evergreen tree that can grow up to 30 meters (98 feet) tall. It has a straight trunk with reddish-brown bark and a broad canopy of compound leaves. The tree produces small, fragrant flowers followed by woody capsules containing seeds.
Environmental Concerns
Spanish Cedar is endangered due to overexploitation for its valuable timber, which is used in furniture and construction. Deforestation and habitat loss further threaten its populations, particularly in Central and South America.
Other Information
Efforts to conserve Spanish Cedar include sustainable forestry practices and legal regulations to control logging. Reforestation and habitat restoration projects are also important for maintaining its natural habitats.
