They can be big, tall, and strong, forming a protective canopy over all the other growing things in their domain:
Also, they can look quite handsome when placed in the proper landscape:
And, when put into a box (or container) not to their liking, they can stagnate for years until planted in a place where they can grow without restriction. Believe it. Just take a look at this guy who three years ago was stuck in a container at a perpetual two feet of height until planted in a more pleasing patch of terrestrial freedom:
When planted in the proper setting, the cedars can grow up to a meter a year, reaching upward for sunshine and transforming light into both height and strength. As they mature, they will also produce their own insecticide to keep all the pests away that might otherwise trouble other smaller members of the family forest.
All these qualities, the cedar tree shares with a good husband.
One last thing. During certain seasons of life (like spring), the cedars will also make you itch, sneeze, and scratch as intensely as any allergen on the planet. During these times, they can be endlessly annoying, despite all their boughs full of fabulous qualities.
