 NWC SeedlingNorthern White Cedar,Thuja occidentalis grows naturally in wet forests, being particularly abundant in coniferous swamps where other larger and faster growing trees cannot compete successfully. NWC is self propogating so reforestization is unnecessary. |  Northern White Cedar PropertiesNorthern White Cedar naturally produces a preservative called Phenol that make it one of the most decay, rot and insect resistant of all wood species. Because of this natural resistance, your NWC log home will not need to be treated with toxic chemicals to resist insects or rot as these properties are naturally occuring. Because of its very low moisture content, Northern White Cedar displays minimal cracking or checking. |  NWC TreesNWC can be harvested only when the winter's chill freezes the ground sufficiently to support the weight of the loggers and their heavy equipment. Even with the most determined effort and the longest winter, loggers manage to fell barely half the NWC trees that are ready to harvest each year. |
