What is cedar incense?

Cedar is a coniferous tree of the family calokedrus . There are three types, although one, calokedrus decurrens or incense incense, is sometimes classified as belonging to the genus Libocedrus . c. Decurrens is originally from Western North America, with a number of oregon, California, Nevada and Baja California in northwest Mexico. The other two species come from parts of Asia; calokedrus formosana or Taiwan incense cedar, grows only on Tai -wan, while Calokedrus macropis or Chinese cedar grows in parts of China, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam. Decurrens is the most famous incense of Ceder's species. Trees usually grow high 130 to 200 feet (40 to 60 meters), with a perimeter of 10 feet (3 meters). c. Decurrens is cultivated as an ornamental tree, popular for its hardiness in times of drought. It grows in Britain, parts of northern Europe and parts of the United States outside its native range. Wood c. Decurrens is used in most pencils because it is soft and does not tend to split.

c. Decurrens serves as a host of incense of cedar wasps or wooden wasps, syntexis liboredrii . Wasp wood is considered a living fossil, because his family has a large prehistoric fossil record, although it is the only remaining species in its family. The liner lays its eggs only on recently burned trees, often, while still smoldering. c. Decurrens is also host of incense cedar mistletoe, phoradendron Libocedri , parasitic flowering shrub with small pink or yellow berries.

c. Formosana reaches 65 to 80 feet (20 to 20 meters). It grows only on Tai -wan, over the area less than 1,930.5 square miles (5,000 square kilometers) and is clumped as an endangered species. The tree is threatened through harvesting and loss of habitat. Sometimes it is considered to be different c. macropis rather than a separate species.

c. Macrolepis has a similar size and appearance as c. Formosana , the main difference between the two is the size of the cone stem. c. Macropis has a conical strain of about 0.2 inches (5 millimeters) long, while the stem of the cone c. Formosana is 2 to 3 times longer. While c. Macrolepis is also threatened through harvesting, its state of maintaining is slightly better than c. Formosana . It is often planted to its native extent, except that it has been harvested in the wild.
