About this plant

Libocedrus decurrens, commonly known as the Incense Cedar, is a magnificent evergreen tree highly prized for its tall, columnar habit and aromatic foliage. Native to western North America, this conifer features scale-like leaves on flattened sprays and reddish-brown, furrowed bark, adding texture to landscapes. Its durable wood is also valued for small construction projects and crafts. Incense Cedar thrives in mountainous areas and is a popular choice for windbreaks, hedges, or as a specimen tree in parks and larger gardens.
