Chamaecyparis lawsoniana aka Port Orford Cedar

Chamaecyparis lawsoniana, also known as Port Orford cedar, Lawson cypress, or Ginger Pine, is a species of conifer in the Cupressaceae family. It is native to the United States, specifically Oregon and northwestern California, and can grow up to 147 feet tall in its natural environment. The tree has a thick silvery-brown trunk, with bright green or blue-green leaves that have a scaly texture and a sharp smell. The cones are small and appear on female flowers in early spring, starting off green and maturing to brown. Lawson's Cypress has a pronounced aroma that repels insects and is also very resistant to external stimuli, which is why it was used for building ships and airplanes in the past. Ginger Pine is a relatively rare houseplant that is easy to grow and needs regular watering, thriving in direct light and well-draining soil. It belongs to the Chamaecyparis genus and is native to Western North America.
