       Northern white-cedar is a very versatile garden tree. One of the
       most widely-planted landscape conifers, it comes in many different
       cultivars of various growth habits and foliage colors. Its size
       varies widely, depending the cultivar, but wild-type plants are
       generally medium-sized trees, often with multiple trunks.
       
       This tree does best in moist to wet alkaline soils. It is shade
       tolerant, but grows faster in sunnier locations.
       
       Propagate by seeds or cuttings. Harvest seed cones in the autumn.
       Propagate cultivars by cuttings to preserve the unique character of
       the cultivar.
