Atlantic White Cedar makes quite a statement. It is a tall, narrow, dark evergreen with fine branching and soft, flat, blue-green foliage.  It likes moist areas and is impressive as a specimen or as a tall privacy hedge.
 
     Birds and other wildlife use Atlantic White Cedar for protection, especially on cold wintry nights, and it is the sole larval host of Hessel's Hairstreak butterfly. It provides winter protection for birds and other wildlife and is a winter food source for deer.
