Maybe this is why mine have done well...I have done most of these. So ya, maybe not great in your application.

Cedars grow well in the Zone 4 environments typically found in British Columbia. If you are determined to grow cedars rather than the similar but hardier junipers, there are a few things you can do to help them to survive and thrive in Calgary’s climate.
- Plant cedars in sheltered areas away from the wind. Hot winds in summer and cold winter winds can quickly kill off cedars.
- Cedars do better when planted against houses.
- Cedars do not make good hedges or borders because it exposes them to the elements.
- During the summer, cedars need a lot of water. If the tips of the foliage start to turn brown, they’re already beginning to die off. In the fall, give cedars a thorough watering to prepare them for winter.
- If you can’t live without cedars, the hardiest variety is the Holmstrap cedar.
