The most useful tree in Pacific Northwest Indigenous culture. The giant of the temperate rainforest.

Thuja plicata, the Western Red Cedar, is not a true cedar but a member of the cypress family, the dominant large conifer of the Pacific Coast temperate rainforest from northern California to southeastern Alaska and one of the most culturally significant trees in the history of North America. It is the tree that built totem poles, dugout canoes, longhouses, and ceremonial regalia. Its bark provided clothing, baskets, rope, and roofing. Its roots were woven into baskets so finely crafted they could hold water. Its wood is soft, straight-grained, fragrant, and extraordinarily rot-resistant, making it the standard material for outdoor construction, fencing, siding, and shingles across the Pacific Northwest to this day. If you are looking to buy Western Red Cedar seeds or grow this remarkable conifer from seed, this is the tree that shaped a culture and still defines an entire landscape.

  • The dominant large conifer of the Pacific Coast temperate rainforest, capable of reaching massive size
  • Exceptionally rot-resistant wood used for outdoor construction, fencing, siding, and shingles
  • Central to Pacific Coast Indigenous cultures for shelter, tools, clothing, and ceremonial use
  • Thrives in wet, poorly drained, and seasonally flooded soils in cool, moist climates
  • Aromatic foliage and wood with the unmistakable scent of the Pacific Northwest forest

Things you probably did not know about the Western Red Cedar

It was known as the tree of life. The Haida, Tlingit, and other Pacific Coast peoples relied on Western Red Cedar for nearly every aspect of daily life. From housing and transportation to clothing and ceremonial objects, the tree was foundational. It held deep spiritual significance and was often honored before being harvested.

Ancient trees become ecosystems themselves. Western Red Cedars can live over 1,000 years and often develop hollow trunks as they age. These cavities become habitats for bears, owls, and countless smaller organisms. Inside, the environment is warmer and more humid than the surrounding forest, supporting specialized ecological communities.

Bark harvesting did not kill the tree. Indigenous harvesting techniques allowed long vertical strips of bark to be removed from living trees without killing them. The trees would continue growing and heal over time, demonstrating a sustainable relationship practiced for thousands of years.

Its wood preserves itself naturally. The rot resistance of Western Red Cedar comes from natural compounds such as thujaplicins and thujic acid that inhibit decay-causing fungi and bacteria. These compounds also give the wood its distinctive fragrance, which persists for years.

Wow!
Format: Kindle
I choose my rating because the art is so cool! Each frame brought a unique angle and showed the brilliance of color and texture! Also, I do have great memories of this movie. The surprise and fun it brought. Also Luke’s point of view was quite interesting. This was a remarkable read, however I skipped some parts more quickly than others. Enjoyed the story in this medium!

Whatever…
Format: Paperback
The worst in the series until they come out with a Rise of Skywalker one… heaven forbid! Still, decent art. Better than the actual movie. 😂

It is not so accurate.
Format: Paperback
Well, this is feedback by my son. My son loves Star Wars and I bought it for him and he read it almost immediately! I knew he would love it, and he did! He loved the artwork and the way the author drew the characters. But he didn’t like one thing. Here’s what my son said: I don’t like how they cut a lot of stuff out from the movie and made it short. They cut a lot of FN-2187s fight with phasma. And I don’t like how the author cut the battle on Crait very short! But, then again, the story was very accurate to the movie.” I know many people like Star Wars, but if your planning on buying this comic, I would think twice. It leaves out some pretty big parts of the movie.I think this deserved four stars.

Good Christmas gift for family members.
Format: Paperback
I got this as a small gift for a fellow Star Wars fan in my family for the holidays. We both like chatting it up when it comes to Star Wars and I thought this graphic novel would do the trick for a small gift. It was great!! The illustrations are detailed and follow the movie plot closely which is good.

Worth every penny
Format: Paperback
Great adaptation. Art is outstanding, story is true to the film but with added depth and insight. Really nice book. My kid loves it, thumbs through it almost every day and we’ve already read through it together a bunch of times.
