They are members of the Juniper family. If you are looking for true cedars, try looking for Deodar or Lebanon Cedar. These are true Cedars.

Junipers have small over-lapping scales in place of the needle clumps similar to those of the Western Larch. Note that, unlike Larches, true Cedars are not deciduous.
