Well-Drained Soil: This cedar thrives in well-drained soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Good drainage prevents waterlogged roots and promotes a healthy root system.
-
Watering: While the Excelsa Western Red Cedar is drought-tolerant once established, it's crucial to provide regular watering during the first growing season. Afterward, let the soil dry between waterings.
-
Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of the tree to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
-
Pruning: Maintain the tree's natural shape by pruning dead or damaged branches in late winter or early spring. This encourages air circulation and new growth.
-
Winter Protection: Shield your cedar from heavy snow by gently brushing off accumulated snow from the branches to prevent breakage.
