I love Incense Cedars. Here in San Diego County I see them on Mount Laguna and Palomar Mountain. I agree, these should replace Redwoods in drier areas due to them not needing a lot of water.

I’m currently at my cabin in cedar valley just south of Yosemite in California. 75% of the trees in this spot are incense cedar. Definitely the most dominant species. We also have a few ponderosa, pin oak, black oak, alders, and a giant sequoias on the property. Really nice trees

There's a fairly large one across the street from where my brother lives in Tacoma. At first I thought that it was a sequoia but looking closer I figured out that it was an incense cedar. Google also helped a lot. Super cool looking trees when they get big, but you're right about them needing a lot of real estate.

@@LV93262 The best stands are on the east side and Kearsarge pass to Onion Valley is about the best anywhere. Also the dominant tree around Horseshoe Meadows / Cottonwood / Langley area. I don’t remember seeing any around Rae Lakes and the rest of that loop would not have any. Have you watched my Foxtail video?

One of two mature incense cedars on my property in the Sierras died a couple of years back due to bark beetle. I removed it of course and burned it in my stove for my house. They are similar to sequoias when young and I look at the leaves to tell the difference. Cedar leaves are fans that go in different directions which is opposite of the sequoias. Thank you, good video.

Good call burning that infested wood. The other difference between cedars and sequoia’s is the sequoia leaves are poking and irritating when you handle them with no gloves.

I really love Incense-Cedars! They really grow to impressive size, even in parts of Southern California, especially the San Bernardino Mountains, where in flat canyon bottoms, 180' or maybe even more is possible with very girthy trunks! Barton Flats and Santa Ana River Canyon east of Angelus Oaks are some places where they get huge. Great video and nice to see you posting again!

Ape, what really miffs me, is how ignorant folks insist that these are Giant Sequoia, even after you try and explain the DIFFERENCES. A nice difference for me is the bark. IC has a tough rigid bark; GS has a soft-like velvet or suede texture to me, with a slight bit of spongy give to it. I'm a looney, but I like petting GS trees!

Here in West Virginia in the northeastern part of the state, there is a place called Smoke Hole Canyon . A section of the canyon the only to see it is to float it. Arborvitaes in that area grow in tree form. It's a very dry part of our mountains, so lots unique plants and trees grow there unlike most of the state.

I know it’s not quite a Sierra tree, but the western redcedar (Thuja plicata) is a species of arborvitae. Interestingly, some Native American cultures referred to them as “the tree of life” which is the meaning of “arborvitae” in Latin

Love the western red cedars but it doesn’t grow in the Sierra or my neck of the woods. It’s widespread in the Pacific Northwest and extreme Northern California coast and really is a beautiful tree. I will definitely do a video on them next time I’m up that way.

The Sierra is known for rocky acidic soil without a lot of nutrients. Cedars are adapted to these dry poor conditions. Don’t supplement the planting hole with fertilizers or compost. You want the roots to go search out food or water beyond your planting hole. Give it a good soaking when planting and leave it alone and it should be fine. First year it might require a couple supplemental waterings and that’s it. Pick a sight with full or partial sun. Happy growing!
