Aspen/Poplar (POP)
Yellow Cedar
Habitat:
Yellow-cedar grows well on deep, slightly acidic, moist soils, usually as single trees, or in small clumps. It is common in old-growth stands at low elevations especially in the mid or north coastal regions, with western red cedar and western hemlock and other plants such as salal and deer fern. It is most commom at high elevations, growing with mountain hemlock and amabilis fir.
Uses of Yellow Cedar:
The wood is very valuable commercially because of its straight grain,
yellow colour, and resistance to decay. It is used extensively for boat
building.
