    Is it too late for planting our cedar edge (occidentalis smaragd) in Vancouver?

    Thank you for your prompt answer. I would like to learn so please I have a few questions: Is it possible to plant still in november? how do we know it is too late to plant? Or is it possible to plant all year?

    Thuja occidentalis is native to much colder climates than Vancouver, so theoretically you could plant these all winter. However, fall, right now is the best time to plant hardy stock of all kinds for multiple reasons.
