CEDARS...CEDARS...CEDARS

There are basically 3 ways to grow a cedar.
One way is to dig it bare root in the field in a ball in spring. The larger the cedar, the more important it is that it has a large root system to support itself, so it's not uncommon to find a large root ball with this type of cedar. To ensure they can be planted all season long, they are sometimes placed into pots to keep them upright, and to make them easier to handle.
Another way is to start it as a small cedar in a pot, and grow it from very young in progressively larger pots until it is a bigger plant with a dense complete root system. This 'container growing' means you have NO TRANSPLANT SHOCK, and with deep regular watering and feeding the first season it will grow and thrive.
At Grobe's... these are the only 2 ways we sell cedar.

The third way is to clear a field of old, field grown cedars and place THEM into plastic pots. As heavy root balls cost a lot to freight, the smaller this pot is, the cheaper it is for the seller. So, fewer roots go with the plant. Makes it easy to plant, and cheap to buy... but it is much harder on the cedar.
In fact, someone unsuspecting might believe it is a container grown plant. It isn't.
So what happens next? No roots to collect water and then this...
Dead cedars
So...does Grobe's offer an inexpensive quality cedar?
We do - and they are now available this spring.
But not for long, because they soon will be gone.
