From the nursery

northern white cedar

northern white cedar. I've been germinating conifers in pots like this, and then transplanting into plug trays. it saves on greenhouse space and time in the spring, and lets you carefully water and take care of the seed through the critical germination period. You can direct sow into a garden or nursery bed, and keep them there for at least a year before planting out in a yard or tree line, I tend to grow them for two or three years to get up to size. I've also rooted cedar from cuttings, it take some practice and I had low percentages but if you can setup the right conditions it's possible. Growing them from seed is much easier.
