King of the taiga - Siberian Cedar
Siberian Cedar or Pine is the king of all the trees of the Russian taiga. This is a powerful and majestic tree, even in fairy tales appearing in the form of an old man, a sage. It is understandable, cedar pines can reach majestic shapes and sizes, and against neighboring spruces and firs seem to be giants with huge paws - powerful branches and crowns. For its size, it is second only to another coniferous relative - the Sequoia.
