Plant identification

Cedar and incense cedar are large and moderately fast-growing coniferous evergreen trees. Most of the species are large skyline-type trees and not widely adaptable to small gardens. Mostly they are seen on streets or in parks.

Optimum conditions for growth

These trees are hardy with few problems. They are found in various climatic zones and do well when planted in full sun. Trees need to be watered deeply a few times during the summer in hot areas to avoid drought injury and bark beetle attack.
