Growing and Maintenance Tips:


Typically grown as a hedge, they can also be used in groupings for windscreens. This cultivar will remain fuller with darker winter foliage than the native white cedar. Damage or stem breakage may occur in the winter from ice and snow accumulation. Protection (burlap wrap) from drying winter winds is recommended in an exposed location.

Additional Notes about 'Spiral' Cedar:


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