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.
EASTERN UPPER PENINSULA — A new Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians law aims to protect culturally significant white cedar trees. Earlier this month, the Sault Tribe announced an update ...
When stocking, a tree's basal area is measured. The basal area is a cross-sectional area of the stump taken about 4.5 feet (1.4 m) above the ground. [7] The equation for calculating the basal area of trees in a stand is Basal Area = 0.005454 DBH 2, where DBH is the diameter of the tree at the aforementioned measuring height. [7]

White cedar may refer to several different trees: Bignoniaceae. Tabebuia heterophylla - native to Caribbean islands and also cultivated as an ornamental tree; Cupressaceae: Chamaecyparis thyoides – Atlantic white cypress; Cupressus lusitanica – Mexican white cedar; Thuja occidentalis – Eastern arborvitae; Meliaceae:
Slowdown in radial growth rates can occur without slowdown in corresponding cross-sectional area or volume growth. For example, research by Leverett [24] has shown that even older white pine trees continue to add significant wood volumes, with 11 monitored trees on average adding 11.9 cubic feet (0.34 m 3) annually.
