also called eastern arborvitae, or northern white cedar

ornamental and timber evergreen conifer of the cypress family (Cupressaceae), native to eastern North America. In the lumber trade it is called, among other names, white cedar, eastern white cedar, and New Brunswick cedar.

Often 20 m (65 feet) tall, the tree is the most common and probably the hardiest of the arborvitae.
