Hi from southern europe.
Is this a cedar???
Is this a cedar???

we are part of a bigger city called Spain, we are the tail of Europe, the end of the world.
Sounds epic?lol
Conical was the shape for sure, the tree didn't get any light from 1 angle, so was pullinh all the stucture to 1 sideThe C. deodora, or deodar, called himalayan here, the wood has almost no particular smell, it keeps its crown conical, and have the longest needles (2").
The most common here in lanscape "recently", seems the C. atlantica, or atlas cedar, often used because some lignages have a blue tone. It has the shortest needles (1"), the wood smells good but not too much.
The wood of C. libani has a strong smell, the needles are intermediate. It has the most horizontal look in the crown. But it's often hard to tell because the crown's shapes change quite a bit from the youth to the adult and oldest ones.
In the pic, I can tell that it isn't the deodora, but I can only guess which of the two others. It looks like a limb from the shadow (longer needles and sparser). The color puts it closer to the atlantica, but it doesn't seems really healthy though, so ?. The cone's shape can make it a libani, but I am not sure.
