trees of this species are semi-fire resistant; the fleshy cones
are dark blue and eaten by over 20 species of birds. They also
give the flavoring for gin and were once used by Native Americans
to treat canker sores. The resin from this evergreen tree is
refined into an oil that is used in ointment, soaps, and shoe
polish. The aromatic wood is a favorite for chests, closets,
woodenware, and novelties. |
