Calocedrus is a wonderful evergreen species that is actually native to many areas of the west & northwestern US. It is many times confused with Arborvitae. This tree has a very formal look to it, and starts out narrowly columnar in its youth. As it matures, it takes on a slightly broader, more pyramidal shape with lustrous green fan-like sprays of foliage. Foliage is very aromatic when crushed or rubbed. Foliage holds its green color extremely well in winter - far better than any arborvitae variety of comparable size.
Uses for Calocedrus can vary from large privacy screens & borders, to large, single specimen type plantings. Very, very drought & heat tolerant once established - and has shown itself to tolerate very poor soils as well. This variety is really starting to catch on in various areas all across the country......and for good reason. Easy to grow, and truly beautiful!!
