Red Cedar and White Cedar are Not Types of Cedar Trees
Despite having the word “cedar” in their nicknames, Red Cedar and White Cedar are not types of Cedar trees at all. They are both nicknames for native thuja arborvitae.
Arborvitae features soft, flat sprays of foliage and a well-behaved nature. They are used throughout the United States, and modern plant breeders are working hard to bring useful new forms to market.
Nature Hills offers many shapes and sizes of this aromatic tree. Click the product photos to see the Plant Highlights for mature height and spread, or filter results based on your preferred size.
Eastern White Cedar is actually a nickname for Thuja occidentalis. Western Arborvitae is Thuja plicata and is sometimes called Western Red Cedar. Both are native to North America.
Towering Green Giant Arborvitae boosts the livability of your backyard in a crowded suburban area. Use as a large-scale hedge, or plant one as a strategic specimen to block the view from a neighbor's second-story window.
North Pole® Arborvitae is a superior mid-sized variety. They'll fit beautifully in modern lots — even in tight side yards — and make excellent hedges.

Cedars also produce natural oils that are toxic to insects and fungi. In windy, low-humidity climates, place them outside the defensible area of your home as part of good Firescaping design.
The natural oils do have a very pleasant aroma, just one of the reasons Cedar wood is so beloved. Woodworkers appreciate their qualities for moth-resistant chests and paneling for closets; it's also well-known as a weather-resistant wood.
Evergreen Cedar trees are widely adaptable. Thuja Arborvitae excels in moist climates. Deodar Cedrus and Cryptomeria both put up with dry areas.
