"Swamp' cedar or northern white cedar, is used extensively in Ontario in residential landscaping as a privacy screen. Suitable for areas of poor drainage, they really do the job

I live in Western Siberia, hardiness zone 3. A lot of people here are planting eastern white cedars in their gardens as ornamental plants, and they seem to grow fine. However, if I go and plant them in the wild here, maybe near a stream, a lake or a swamp, do you think they will adapt? The most common native plant here is the pinus sylvestris, by the way. It adapts the same strategy as the EWC. Grows whereever other plants can't, from rocks to swamps.

Thanks for this question, we’re happy you found us from so far away! If you are looking to do tree plantings in the wild, we suggest using species that are native to your region, or perhaps species whose northern edge approaches your region. With climate change, you can consider trees currently growing to the south that will thrive in a warmer future climate. Native species typically will function best in the local ecosystem and support local wildlife including pollinators. We aren’t experts on Siberian trees, but a quick search doesn’t show any cedar species native to western Siberia. That being said, it could be fun to try out cedars in wetter sites around your home and see how they do. Cedar does not grow in an invasive way so there is no harm in trying this out. Good luck and let us know how it goes!

Closet lining and hope chest cedar is the Eastern red cedar or Aromatic cedar not Western red cedar.
