A popular choice for borders and windbreaks, White Cedar (Thuja occidentalis) grows in a variety of locations but does best in slightly alkaline (clay) soils in full sun. It provides a habitat for many birds and small wildlife year-round. Use this tree to provide shade for your garden or house. It will tolerate pruning. The Niagara Escarpment is home to cliff-dwelling White Cedars that are over 1500 years old!
