Atlantic White Cedar

Atlantic White Cedar (Chamaecyparis thyoides) Atlantic White Cedar (Chamaecyparis thyoides) is a tall, narrow evergreen conifer native to the eastern United States, valued for its soft, feathery texture and graceful, columnar habit. Often found in wetland habitats, this adaptable species also performs well in landscape settings, offering a refined silhouette and bluish-green foliage that holds year-round appeal. Distinctive Features This species forms a slender, upright structure with dense branching and delicate, scale-like foliage that ranges from blue-green to silvery-gray, depending on sun exposure and soil. As it matures, the tree develops reddish-brown bark that peels in narrow strips, adding seasonal texture. Its naturally formal shape and fine texture make it suitable for screening, hedging, or use as a vertical accent in large landscapes.
