Background
Cedrus atlantica, commonly known as Atlas Cedarwood or Moroccan Cedarwood, is a stately evergreen conifer native to the mountainous regions of Morocco and Algeria. These trees thrive at elevations of 1300–1600 metres and can grow up to 40 metres tall. Known for their resilience, they flourish in full sun and tolerate drought and heat exceptionally well. In Europe and the Mediterranean, Atlas cedar is often cultivated for landscaping and reforestation. Historically, the tree’s bark-derived oil has been used for medicinal, spiritual, and cosmetic purposes—ranging from ancient Egyptian mummification to Native American healing rituals for digestion and respiratory concerns.
