White Cedar plug seedlings for sale, approx 10-18″ tall [some photos are no longer accurate]
Although Thuja occidentalis do well in upland areas, this species is very good for wetter lowland areas such as slightly swampy areas, stream banks and lake shores, where the soil is dark and rich. Fairly shade tolerant (especially when young), White Cedar plug seedlings prefer full sun as they mature. This species is relatively resistant to insect pests, and its timber is used for poles, shakes and shingles due to its natural resistance to rot. [br] [br]
This species of Thuja often turn a reddish or even purple color due to winter exposure, and to the untrained eye one might conclude that they are damaged or dying. However, this color change is quite normal, and the trees will green up quickly in the warmer weather of Spring. [br] [br]
