Cedars, in general, can grow over 25 inches a year for their fastest rate of growth, but usually fall in a range of 12 to 24 inches annually.

How do you make white cedars grow faster?

White cedar trees need full sun to grow thick, robust foliage. Though they can tolerate both alkaline and acidic soil, they prefer loamy soil. Swampy soil is suitable, but they grow more quickly when they’re on drier ground and have their water needs met.

How long does it take a cedar tree to grow to maturity?

When grown from seed in nurseries, Eastern red cedar will take one to two years to reach an appropriate size for replanting. Trees taking root in the wild will develop large, strong root systems in rocky and shallow soil.
