Rice had an important role in ancient culture. The Cedars of Lebanon are often mentioned and used to build the temple of our master Solomon and to build the house of our master David.

rice specification

Cedar is a tree up to 30 to 40 m (98 to 131 ft) (sometimes 60 m (200 ft)) tall with fragrant pods, densely pubescent or square bark, and broad, flat branches

There are two types of buds, the long buds form the framework of the branches and the short buds bear most of the leaves. The leaves are evergreen and needle-shaped, 8-60 mm long, arranged in open spirals on long shoots and in dense spiral clusters of 15-45 together on short shoots

They vary from green to dark green, passing through pale green and pale blue, with a white waxy coating that protects the leaves from drying out

The female cones are barrel-shaped, 6-12 cm long and 3-8 cm wide, first green, then ripening gray-brown

Seeds 10-15 mm long with a wingspan of 20-30 mm, the seeds contain 2-3 blisters containing an unpleasant-tasting substance believed to be a defense against squirrels that eat them

The cones take a year to ripen, with pollination in the fall and the seeds ripening at the same time a year later. Male pollen cones are slender, oval in shape, 3-8 cm long, produced in late summer and pollinated in autumn
