The Cyprus Cedar (Cedrus brevifolia) is found in the cedar valley in central Cypres, especially in the Paphos forest. This evergreen conifer tree or shrub is slow-growing, possessing short, irregular, stiff, horizontal branches and thick, slightly curved blue-green needles. The crown is umbrella-like while the cones are cylindrical with a concave apex. It tolerates both sunlight and shade conditions. It's ideal for landscaping because of its small size. The bark is fissured and pale grayish-brown. The Cedar of Cyprus is extremely long-lived and its wood is resistant to rot and insect infections, making it ideal for building wooden artifacts and lockers.
Cyprus Cedars have a typical overall height between 40’-50’ (12.2-15.2 m) and spread diameter of 40’-50’ (12.2-15.2 m). Exceptional mature Cyprus Cedar trees may grow to heights of 82’ (25 m) in the wild. The trunk of the Cyprus Cedar has a diameter of 3.9’-8.2’ (1.2-2.5 m) with needle-like leaf lengths between .2”-.5” (5-13 mm).
