`False cedar` is a name commonly used for several species of Pacific Northwest trees that occur in 3 separate, but similar looking, genera; none are `true` cedars. False cedars all share the following characteristics: Tiny, scale-like leaves that overlap like shingles and form flat sprays like a fern. Distinctive, small cones that remain on the tree long after their seeds are gone. They are also known for their aromatic wood. This is a row of large false cedar trees in a suburban neighborhood.
