101. Thujopsis dolabrata – Staghorn Cedar
Scientific Name: Thujopsis dolabrata
Nativity: Japan
Interesting Info:
Also called the hiba cedar or deerhorn cedar, this species is native to the moist forests of Japan. It is very similar to the native western red cedar, but has a deeper, darker color that almost looks synthetic. It is actually not a true cedar at all, but is the only species in its genus. The staghorn cedar is a relatively rare species, as there are few nurseries that cultivate it.
