Size: 12-16 / Age: 2-2 / Growth Rate: 13-24 per year. The White Cedar (Thuja occidentalis), also known as the northern white cedar or arborvitae, is a slow-growing, evergreen conifer native to North America. It typically reaches heights of 40-50 feet. This tree has a narrow, pyramidal shape with dense, flat sprays of scale-like foliage that are bright green in summer and may take on a bronze tint in winter. The foliage is aromatic when crushed, emitting a pleasant, earthy fragrance. Its bark is thin, fibrous, and gray to reddish-brown, often peeling in long strips. This species thrives in moist, well-drained soils but is highly adaptable, tolerating a range of soil types, including alkaline or rocky soils. It is commonly found in wetlands, along lake shores, and in cool, humid climates. It also provides critical habitat and food for wildlife, including deer, birds, and small mammals.
