Thuja occidentalis, also known as white cedar, is an evergreen coniferous tree, in the cypress family Cupressaceae, which is native to eastern Canada and much of the north, central and upper Northeastern United States

Hedges are a functional feature in many gardens. They can be small or large, formal or informal. They can also function to break a long garden into smaller units, to define a space or to provide a visual barrier or windbreak.
Eastern White Cedar
Thuja occidentalis (Eastern White Cedar) is hardy to Zone 2. Consider field grown specimens, as they are usually more economical and offer single stemmed specimens. These native plants are versatile, will thrive in sun or part shade, require neutral to alkaline moist soil and prefer good drainage.
Pruning
Upkeep trimming in June: to keep the hedge straight, tie a string between 2 posts at either end of the hedge to use as a guideline for pruning. Keep the bottom of the pruned hedge slightly wider than top.
