Incense cedar (*Calocedrus decurrens*) is a coniferous tree native to western North America known for its fragrant foliage and wood. 🌲 It's like the aromatherapy guru of the forest. The aroma is released when the leaves are crushed or the wood is burned. Think of it as nature's own incense stick. The wood is often used in pencils, closets, and lining chests due to its pleasant scent and insect-repellent properties. It's nature's way of saying "smell ya later" to moths! Unlike true cedars, it has scale-like leaves.
