The intent of this report is to present the most current and available information concerning establishment and growth of redcedar in the coastal region of British Columbia. The first three sections introduce the approach to the report and summarize well-known information about the redcedar resource and the uses of redcedar products. The silvics section describes morphological and reproduction characteristics, tolerance, damaging agents, growth development patterns, and genetics and summarizes several studies investigating redcedar stem form and root characteristics. The ecology section describes climatic amplitude of redcedar, its occurrence within biogeoclimatic units, edaphic amplitude, and associated tree species. The silviculture section includes management- related topics such as growth and yield, regeneration strategies, and intensive silviculture options.--Document.

After nearly 60 years, with descriptions of more than 270 species and almost 200 illustrations, Textbook of Dendrology continues to remain a top resource for taxonomic and silvicultural information on North American trees. In this new edition, material throughout the text has been updated and expanded to provide current information on tree sizes, damaging diseases and insect pest, economic uses, and silvics. Because of growing concern for the environment, it is even more necessary for students to know and understand the importance of conservation. Many of these issues are incorporated throughout the book.
