Growing and Maintenance Tips:

Rheingold cedars benefit from light pruning to obtain a more compact shape. Protection (burlap wrap) from drying winter winds is recommended in an exposed location as "winter burn" is not uncommon with this cultivar.

Additional Notes about Rheingold Cedar:

Deer find the soft evergreen foliage very attractive for winter food and will rapidly strip a plant.
