Urban Trees - Eastern White Cedar

Dendrologist Ken Farr takes us through a tour of Commissioners Park in Ottawa to look at trees that you might find useful for planting in the urban forest in and around the place where you live. In this video, he talks about the eastern white cedar.

How old would that tree be?

[@SimplyScienceNRCan]

The eastern white cedar in the video is likely between 15 and 20 years old. Eastern white cedars are very long-lived and highly adaptable to local conditions. There are 700 year-old trees growing on the exposed cliffs of the Niagara Escarpment in Ontario that are hardly a metre tall. But a normal eastern white cedar would grow to about 15 m tall, and about 10 m wide at the base.

@Simply Science good to know. Not the privacy tree I'm looking for then. Lol
