If you registered to receive a free Eastern Red Cedar Tree, the seedlings will be arriving sometime on Wednesday or Thursday this week. The school is doing this to celebrate Earth Day!
We have extra trees, so if you did not register or did register and would like an extra tree, please let me know and I will get you one!
Happy Earth Week from the Woodland Green Team!
The eastern red cedar grows to a height of 40–50' and a spread of 8–20' at maturity and grows at a medium rate, with height increases of 13–24" per year.
Red cedars are unusually long lived, with the potential to live over 900 years. The oldest tree reported, from West Virginia, is 940 years old!
Full sun is the ideal condition for this tree, meaning it should get at least six hours of direct, unfiltered sunlight each day.
Red cedar foliage provides nesting and roosting cover for sparrows, robins, mockingbirds, juncos and warblers.
The eastern red cedar is an ancient tree, dating back to aboriginal America.
