Although Thuja occidentalis do well in upland areas, this species is very good for wetter lowland areas such as slightly swampy areas, stream banks and lake shores, where the soil is dark and rich. Fairly shade tolerant (especially when young), White Cedar plug seedlings prefer full sun as they mature. This species is relatively resistant to insect pests, and its timber is used for poles, shakes and shingles due to its natural resistance to rot.
