Growing habits:
Cedar likes sunshine, but it is also quiet and resistant to shade. It can adapt to acidic soil and slightly alkaline soil, and can also grow on cohesive loess and barren and arid land. However, in waterlogged depressions or places where the groundwater level is too high, it will grow poorly and even die. It is a shallow-rooted tree species and is easily blown down by the wind. It's windy and cold in winter in the north, so take protective measures in advance!
