What Kind of Cedar makes a good hedge?In Central Canada the native White Cedar (Thuja occidentalis) is the most popular of all for use as a hedge. It is inexpensive and often is dug from ‘native plantations’ almost bare root. They sit for a year or two in your garden before growing but when they do you can expect up to a meter of new growth each year. This usually occurs in the 3rd year.
Other Cedar tips:
- Autumn is a great time for planting all cedars!
- Prairie gardeners can choose from the ‘almost winter hardy’ Emerald Cedar (Thuja occidentalis ‘Smaragd’) (which will need to be planted on the east side of your home or wrapped with burlap in late fall for protection) and the much more hardy ‘Brandon Cedar’ (Thuja occidentalis ‘Brandon’).
Planting cedars:- Mark your line with a string or garden hose, to get the hedge straight.
- Dig a trench ½ meter wide and 1/3 meter deep.
- Back fill the bottom of the trench with triple mix (1/3 top soil, 1/3 peat and 1/3 compost) or Mark’s Choice planting mix (the best that money can buy!).
- Stand your cedars upright in the trench before piling the remainder of the triple mix on their roots.
- Once the cedars are lined up straight, plant them using triple mix and step firmly on the soil as you plant, making firm contact between the soil and the roots of the new trees.
- Water thoroughly and stake every 2 meters with a ‘T’ bar or 2” X 2” stake, using heavy gage wire to secure them in place.
- Most important! Don’t be too ambitious when choosing your new cedars! New trees about 1 meter high will establish much more quickly than large, 2 meter high specimens, unless the large trees have been nursery grown.

How to Plant a Cedar Hedge
Tools for the job: spade shovel, work gloves, plant starter fertilizer, slow growth fertilizer, manure, mulch, soaker hose.
LOCATION:
- Never situate a cedar hedge close to anywhere near a walkway or roadway where salt is used over winter. Salt damages the evergreen foliage, causing tissue death.
- Cedars prefer a sunny to part shady area in the garden. They will not grow uniformly or properly in a heavily shaded area.
- Do not plant a cedar hedge near steep gradients. Moisture loss is a serious problem with steep slopes.
- Be sure to plant at least 3-4 feet away from walkways, roads or any property edges.
- Begin by measuring the distance of the planting line.
- Dig a trench 16 inches (40 cm) wide and deep along this line. Place plants 12 to 18 inches (30 to 45cm) apart.
- Place plants then backfill with existing soil that has been mixed with manure, compost, triple mix or peat moss.
- In heavily sandy soils add 2 parts amendment (ie: manure) to 1 part existing soil. (Cedars thrive on moisture and nutrient rich soils.)
- Push the soil firmly around the roots ensuring that the plant remains straight and at the right soil level. Be sure to soak the trench well after planting and add plant starter fertilizer to the water.
- Watering thoroughly is key for helping cedars take root after planting.
- Thorough watering is better than light, infrequent watering.
- Let the hose sit at the base of the planting trench and allow water to lightly trickle for several hours, while moving the hose down the line of cedars every other hour. Another way is to use a soaker hose along the planting line.
- Water like this every week right after planting and use your own discretion during drought like conditions. Thoroughly soak the roots again in late fall for them to maintain adequate moisture for over wintering.
- Organically rich soil is preferable to help maintain moisture. Supplementing the existing soil with manure will improve soils water retention.
- Mulch is an excellent method of adding nutrients to the soil, slowly over time. It also inhibits evaporation.
- During planting it is advised to feed with Plant Starter fertilizer
- Subsequently feed with water-soluble plant fertilizer, three times through the growing season (once in May, June, and again in July).
- Fertilizing with slow release nitrogen and phosphorus is advised in late fall to give the hedge an added boost for spring.
- A combination of Blood and Bone Meal can also be used as an organic alternative.

这个我查过，说CEDAR吸引蚊子实际上是蚊子喜欢它的阴影（连续、连地），别的草地、树、POND都被蚊子喜欢，也是怎么看利弊的问题。
我今年6月份种的时候我的西人邻居也过来跟我说这个事情，结果，就上周，人家请人种了5簇在后院。
