Secondly, penetration: the tips of the roots are equipped with substances that allow them drill through the toughest of rocks and continue the deep rootedness of the tree.

Thirdly, usefulness to others, pencils are made from cedar wood. Their branches serve as home to many birds and animals.

Fourthly, their resistance to diseases and decay. Their saps have a natural repellent to harmful insects and fungi. They give out sweet smelling aromas.
