Planting and Care of Northern White Cedar Trees

PLANTING LOCATIONS

Plant a least three feet away from the water-edge of the river.
Plant the cedar seedlings at least 5 feet apart.
Plant them where you would want them to grow into a large tree.
Look up! Don’t plant them under electric or telephone lines, or too close to existing trees, or under roof overhangs.
Look down! Don’t plant on septic drain fields or over buried pipes or cables.
Cedars are shade tolerant.
Don't plant in areas subject to flooding, or continual wetness for more than two continuous weeks per year.
