Explanation
The deodar tree, scientifically named Cedrus deodara and also known as the Himalayan cedar, is Pakistan's national tree. It can reach heights of 40 to 50 meters with trunks up to 3 meters wide. The wood is lightweight, fine-grained, and resistant to decay. The name 'deodar' is derived from Sanskrit, meaning 'wood of the gods.' Historically, the East India Company utilized deodar wood for constructing barracks, bridges, canals, railways, and public buildings. Additionally, the deodar serves as the state tree of Himachal Pradesh in India.
