What kind of tree is a cedar? What is he famous for? Why do people strive to plant this breed at their home or in the country? What are its biological features? How to raise it and how to care for it in our difficult northern conditions, outside the natural range? These and other questions are answered by the author, a longtime admirer and propagandist of the introduction of Siberian cedar (Siberian cedar pine) into the forests of the European North, who has studied the weight of old and many young plantings of this breed in the Arkhangelsk and Vologda regions over four decades.
