Cedrus deodara is the scientific name. A common tree here.
I loved two of your comments lately:
You mentioned that some people are over doing flushing, eating fruit over cleansing etc etc. Laughed at the thought - you are correct. Funny how we never hear anyone over doing vegetables?
And you comment above about what is good for plants is also good for us. Couldn't agree more. Yes, Bokashi was behind the bran ferments. Although other techniques have also been done. Again yes to fermentation. This relates to an notion about the environment which I think is particularly important:
All organisms are usually totally reflective of their environments in many subtle ways. We humans should not think ourselves otherwise.
