Growing Tips & Maintenance

  • Typically grown as a hedge, white cedar also can be used in groupings for windscreens or for naturalizing in consistently wet areas. Damage or stem breakage may occur in the winter from ice and snow accumulation. Protection (burlap wrap) from drying winter winds and road salt is recommended in an exposed location.
Note

Additional Notes

  • Native to Ontario  The eastern white cedar is native to Canada, from Manitoba east throughout the Great Lakes Region, into Quebec and the Maritime provinces. Isolated populations are found in the northeastern United States and as far south as North Carolina. The common name of arborvitae is Latin for "tree of life" and comes from early French settlers when they learned from the native Americans that they could use the tree’s foliage to treat scurvy.
