Western Red Cedar Seedlings Moisture Tolerance

Have to fess up tonight.  Hiked above the house later today and discovered one little cedars has been cut back.  And yet, another 10 feet away wasn't touched.  Will mulch the ones damaged and they should come right back.

And SD, ours are all black tail in this area.

Had a couple of beavers a couple of years ago.  Replant was all fir and lost a bunch of them.  They moved after a couple years, not enough water during the summer to keep them happy.

I've got an area we scalped with a dozer to plant trees (spruce) and it's along were there were mature cedar on the next lot over. Those bare spots are a green carpet of white cedar. No deer to bother them, never see a deer track up there in the winter, they migrate down river.



Bronze or brown color is the cedar.

The protection tubes  work both for the Boomers and the deer/elk until they get established and start to grow out the tops.  The only problem is when they grow out the tops they can still eat them but by then they are a bit more robust.
