How to identify Deodar cedar (Cedrus deodara)
Deodar cedar, also known as Cedar of the himalaya, Deodar
Deodar cedar is an evergreen with a young, broadly pyramidal shape, maturing into wide, spreading branches and a less prominent central leader. The elongate, pliable needles, measuring 1-2 inches (2.5-5 cm), are grayish-green with a light blue tinge at the tips. These needles cluster on dwarf shoots. Deodar cedar is distinct for its large, erect male cones and barrel-shaped female cones that perch atop branches. The needles are singularly born on stems and are triangular to quadrangular in cross-section.
Needles measure 1-2 inches (2.5-5 cm) - grayish-green with light blue tips on dwarf shoots.
Large, erect male cones and barrel-shaped female cones atop branches distinguish deodar cedar.
Needles are triangular to quadrangular in cross-section, singularly born on stems.
Leaves are needle-like, blue-green with a silvery sheen, sharply pointed in clusters.
Stem shows a spur-like structure, brown-reddish, with rough bark, supporting dense canopy.
The leaves of deodar cedar are needle-like, measuring 1-2 inches (2.5-5 cm) in length. They exhibit a striking blue-green color, with a glaucous or silvery sheen. Each leaf is sharply pointed, forming clusters of 15 to 20 needles per whorl. The texture is firm and slightly rough, with a starkly defined sharp tip, which assists in the identification of this plant.
The stem of deodar cedar exhibits a spur-like structure, typically brown to reddish-brown in color. It is moderately thick, with diameters ranging from 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm). The texture is rough due to the presence of fibrous bark. The healthy stems are strong and erect, supporting multiple layers of short, stiff branches arranged in a symmetric pattern. These branches contribute to the dense and tiered canopy characteristic of the species. The nodes on the stem are pronounced, where clusters of needle-like leaves emerge.
Gardenia jasminoides is an evergreen shrub with unique, glossy evergreen leaves and stunning flowers. The sophisticated, matte white flowers are often used in bouquets. The exceptional beauty of this ornamental plant has made it a popular and highly appreciated plant amongst gardeners and horticulturalists.
The golden pothos (Epipremnum aureum) is a popular houseplant that is commonly seen in Australia, Asia, and the West Indies. It goes by many nicknames, including "devil's ivy", because it is so hard to kill and can even grow in low light conditions. Golden pothos has poisonous sap, so it should be kept away from pets and children.
Solanum lycopersicum is an annual or perennial herbaceous vine native to Central and South America that produces a large, juicy, edible fruit known as tomato. Today there are over 10000 cultivated varieties. Although tomato is the world’s most popular vegetable, botanically it is a fruit.
The pepper are commonly used for cooking in places such as the Southern U.S. and Central America. Most are moderately spicy, though because there are so many variants, the spice level can vary dramatically. Cayenne powder is also a popular seasoning product made from pepper plants.
The swiss cheese plant (Monstera deliciosa) produces bright, glossy leaves and makes a popular houseplant. It is originally native to tropical forest regions in Central America. The nickname swiss cheese plant refers to the small holes that develop in the plant's leaves. The long fruits resemble corncobs and smell sweet and fragrant when ripe.
The bigleaf hydrangea is a deciduous shrub native to Japan, and is known for its lush, oval, colorful inflorescence. The two types of Hydrangea macrophylla are mopheads - with large, ball-shaped, sterile flower clusters, and lace capes - with small round fertile flowers in the center, and sterile flowers on the outer side of each inflorescence. Depending on soil pH, blooms can change color from pink to blue.
