Cedrela fissilis (Standard) is better known as the striking and adaptable Brazilian Cedarwood. A true behemoth in the world of trees, this addition to your landscape can reach between 15 to 20 meters in height, and in optimal conditions, even an impressive 40 meters. This gem from the Meliaceae family is no ordinary tree with its deeply fissured bark wrapped around a trunk that can span up to 1 meter in diameter. Its earthy scent, reminiscent of cedarwood oil, is a unique sensory experience. The vibrant dark green, glossy leaves of the Brazilian Cedarwood are a sight to behold, along with its delicate blooms of small white or greenish flowers come blooming season. This resilient tree doesn't just add visual appeal, its reddish-brown timber is highly prized, adding useful functionality. With a high tolerance for varying soil conditions as well as different levels of sun exposure, the Brazilian Cedarwood trees are not just grand centerpieces to any landscape, but also thrifty choices for low-maintenance, high-impact greenery.
