Potentially this is one of the most valuable softwoods we can grow in Britain. Its timber is as durable here as it is when grown in its native NW America. When used outside, even for roof shingles, "red cedar" is the best. Its productivity increases towards the west of Britain, but nevertheless it will grow almost anywhere. Trees exceed 40 metres tall in Wales and Scotland but reach a limit of about 30 metres in the south east of England. The foliage is good for floristry. It is aromatic when handled, somewhat like the zest from orange peel.
