Growing Tips & Maintenace
- Typically grown as a hedge, black cedars can also be used in groupings for windscreens. Generally, black cedars tend to remain fuller with darker winter foliage than its parent, the native white cedar. Damage or stem breakage may occur in the winter from ice and snow accumulation. Protection (burlap wrap) from drying winter winds is recommended in an exposed location.
Additional Notes
- Deer find the soft evergreen foliage very attractive for winter food and will rapidly strip a plant.
