The Western Red Cedar (Thuja plicata) is a majestic, long-lived tree with aromatic, scale-like foliage. It is highly valued for its rot-resistant wood and dense, privacy-providing growth.
Growing & Planting Guide
Prefers moist, rich soils and can tolerate some shade. Plant in a location with plenty of space to grow, as these can become massive trees.
Maintenance Tips
Requires regular watering in dry climates. Responds well to shearing if used as a hedge, though it is best left to grow naturally.
