Skybound Cedar

Eastern White Cedar is a slender growing conifer often used as a decorative tree or a hedge. This tree is an effective privacy screen even in winter and a great long term solution to urban crowding or a drab yard.

The Skybound Cedar is a newer variety that is usually hardier than the Brandon Cedar and richer in color. The dark green, scale-like foliage maintain their needles and color throughout the winter.

Cedars enjoy average to moist soil conditions and should not be allowed to dry out. It's small size, spread and columnar shape make the Skybound Cedar an excellent accent tree or border hedge that can be expected to live up to 50 years under ideal conditions.
