White cedar is a graceful, evergreen native that brings year-round structure, privacy, and habitat value to any New England landscape. With its soft, aromatic foliage and naturally pyramidal form, it works beautifully as a living screen, windbreak, or specimen tree, offering four-season color. Highly adaptable to a range of soils and sites, white cedar is long-lived, naturally resistant to rot, and provides important cover and winter food for birds and other wildlife—making it a good choice for homeowners who want both beauty and ecological function in their yard.
