Our Eastern White Cedar
White Cedar Overview
Eastern/northern white cedar (Thuja occidentalis) grows in many of Maine’s wet lands around the edges of water bodies, along brooks and streams, and in low lying places where water tends to pool or collect forming what is commonly called a cedar swamp. The rich, deep, dark soil found in these areas contributes to the growth and regeneration of this thriving species that covers much of Maine’s wooded acreage. For over a hundred years this unique species has been the choice of many who are looking for beauty, durability, longevity, moisture resistance, and a great natural cent.
