{"product_id":"western-red-cedar-thuja-plicata","title":"Western Red Cedar (Thuja plicata)","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWestern red cedar is widely recognized as one of the evergreen giants of our coastal forests, living up to 1000 years or more, and is culturally significant to many Coast Salish peoples. It is beautifully structured, with textured reddish bark, gracefully curved lower branches and flat sprays of fragrant evergreen foliage. Although it eventually grows into a very large tree, western red cedar is versatile and valuable as an ornamental tree in the home landscape, grown as a specimen or planted closely together and pruned to create a hedge. It is shade tolerant, and prefers moist, rich soils.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSun Exposure:\u003c\/b\u003e Full sun to part shade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSoil \u0026amp; Moisture:\u003c\/b\u003e Moist to seasonally moist, humus-rich soil\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMature Size:\u003c\/b\u003e 75'-150' tall, sometimes taller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBloom Time:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eEdible:\u003c\/b\u003e No\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWildlife Value:\u003c\/b\u003e Seeds are eaten by birds.
