Northern White Cedar (Thuja occidentalis)

Pair of dimensioned illustrations of the Northern White Cedar seen from the top and elevation views

The Northern White Cedar (Thuja occidentalis), also known as the Eastern White Cedar, is an evergreen coniferous tree that is typically planted as an ornamental plant. The Northern White Cedar is native to the north-central and the northeastern region of the United States. The Northern White Cedar has fan-like branches that grow densely and create a conical or pyramidal crown. The tree is covered with a red-brown colored bark that peels in strips. The Northern White Cedar grows scaly leaves in flat sprays and produces seed cones that are slender and have a yellow-green coloring. The Northern White Cedar is not in danger of extinction.

Northern White Cedars have a typical overall height between 40’-60’ (12-18 m) and spread diameter of 10’-20’ (3-6.1 m). Exceptional mature Northern White Cedar trees may grow to heights of 125’ (38 m) in the wild. The trunk of the Northern White Cedar has a diameter of 2’-5’ (.6-1.5 m) with scale-like leaf lengths between .12”-.2” (3-5 mm).
