Deodara Cedar

The Deodara Cedar (Cedrus deodara) is a member of the true cedars and is indigenous from India to Nepal.

I prepared a section from a young twig as well as a needle-shaped leaf from a tree in the Botanical Garden in Berlin. Trichrome staining with acridine red, acriflavine, and astra blue.
