Plant of the Day

An evergreen conifer native to western North America, Calocedrus decurrens (incense cedar, white cedar) attracted attention due to the glossy green, flattened sprays of scale like leaves tipped with pollen cones. The tree has a narrow columnar habit, with beautiful orange and grey flaking bark. The foliage smells amazing when crushed, sometimes described as similar to shoe polish! Jill Raggett
