openings at low elevations throughout the Willamette Valley.
To distinguish this species from the albus, look for trailing stems that root at the nodes, solid brown pith, and hairy stems.
Trailing Snowberry spreads rapidly. It is an excellent species to use in sites that are exposed to full sun and dry soils.

Thuja plicata - Western Red Cedar is a large tree that reaches 60 meters (197 feet) in height. It prefers moist to wet soils in shaded forests.
This tree can be found throughout the Willamette Valley at low to middle elevations in seepage sites, alluvial areas and bogs.
The scale-like leaves of this tree are in opposite pairs of 4 rows. One pair is folded, the other, not. This species has two sets of cones, the
pollen cones are small, numerous and red; while the seed cones are 1 centimeter long, egg shaped, and green.
This is a rapidly growing tree, which acts as an erosion control for the soil, a windbreak for high wind areas, and habitat for many wildlife of
the Pacific Northwest.
