White Cedar Vs Red Cedar Leaves?
I’m doing a tree identification project for school and I am supposed to find Western Red Cedar leaves. Is there a difference between the Red Cedar and White Cedar leaves? Very Urgent!!!
Yes, there is a difference. In general, red cedar is genus Juniperus, which has twiglets in three dimensions (I will try to find a link so you will know what I’m talking about). White cedar is usually in the genus Thuja, which has flat twiglets, similar to a fan.
Here are some links. This is a great image of a juniper (red cedar) twig:

and here’s the Thuja (white cedar) twig–see how flat it is, in comparison to the juniper?
