Unlike the closely related western red cedar (Thuja plicata), northern white cedar is only a small or medium-sized tree, growing to a height of 15 m (49 ft) tall with a 0.9 m (3.0 ft) trunk diameter, exceptionally to 38 metres (125 ft) tall and 1.8 metres (5.9 ft) diameter. [7] The tree is often stunted or prostrate in less favorable locations.
Melia azedarach, commonly known as the chinaberry tree, [3] pride of India, [4] bead-tree, Cape lilac, [3] syringa berrytree, [3] Persian lilac, [3] Indian lilac, or white cedar, [5] is a species of deciduous tree in the mahogany family, Meliaceae, that is native to Indomalaya and Australasia.
[2] [3] [7] [8] The tree begins bearing seeds at 4–5 years, but does not reach full maturity and start producing cones until it is 10-20 years old. Seeds are dispersed nearly every year and travel by wind. [11] Height and diameter of the tree increase steadily until the tree is 50 years old, at which point height growth slows.
Thuja species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including autumnal moth, the engrailed and juniper pug. The foliage is also readily eaten by deer, and where deer population density is high, can adversely affect the growth of young trees and the establishment of seedlings. [16]
