Western red cedar grows best in full sun to partial shade. It tolerates most types of soil, including those found in coastal areas. Western red cedar tolerates highly acidic soils to those which are moderately alkaline. Western red cedar grows natively in moist forests throughout the Pacific Northwest. For this reason, it needs moist conditions to thrive. Western cedar, like many evergreens, produces volatile oils and is not fire-resistant.
