We have a Ceder of Lebanon planted on campus. With it being a rather unusual species to see in the US I snapped a bunch of photos of it. This is a tree that is considered a TRUE cedar or old world ceder. Many of the Ceders found in the united states belong to a different family. It also just so happens that the ceder was starting to produce its cones. Since these cones were found toward the bottom of the tree I believe that these are female cones and due to there size they are last years fertilized cones and they will probably open up this year and produce seeds..

Scientific name 'Cedrus libani'
