I like having a variety of conifers and the cedars are some of my favorites.

You should come and see our old red cedars Sticki My hubby loves them (he is one of those "treehuggers")
I would not mind to chop a few down.
This one is cute with its pendulous (?) branches and blue-green needles. How tall it grows, RKwright?

I don't think I'm a tree hugger but I do love them!
Do you have a picture of the red cedars klahanie?

Funny thing, I do not . but I will make one (if I can squeeze them into picture). We had very dry summer and they are suffering little bit right now. I am telling them not too worry, the rains are comming soon (and staying till spring).
Sorry RK for hijacking your post of the lovely Cedrus deodara .

I am not entirely certain how tall this will grow since Cedrus deodara does not typically survive this region. It will reach at least 20' tall and possibly up to 30-35'. It will keep a fairly narrow shape too.
What are the red cedars? Over here, the tree everyone calls Eastern Red cedar is Juniper (Juniperus virginiana). They sprout up everywhere in grassy fields.

Western red cedar , Thuja plicata, They are very large trees can reach aprox.220' and live a long time,... over 1200 years.
Majestic trees. There is a grove of very old ones in the Pacific Rim National Park here on Vancouver Island. But you can see some large ones in Washington State as well.
They also seed readily. The tree has a significant importance for the first nations people in the area.

Here they call Thuja occidentalis White Cedar and Juniperus virginiana is Eastern Red Cedar. I guess that is the problem with common names, everything called cedar is actually Arborvitae or Juniper haha. Thuja plicata is nice though, I have a hybrid type and they are fast growing dense trees with fragrant wood. I like that the deer don't like them as much as the the eastern arborvitaes too!

You are right. Deer will not touch that one. And my deer likes almost evrything. Including all the plants on "deer resistant " list. It will not eat toxic plants but everything else it will.

The deer won't eat this cedar because it is so prickly but they have tried eating my daphnes before and those are toxic. They must have figured it out quick too, only a couple branches were chewed down. They used to eat my lilacs during winter, usually just the flower buds. I have a fence up now so I hope that will keep them away!
