Detailed Information
The native region of Western Red Cedar (Thuja plicata), regardless of the cultivar (like ‘Forever Goldy’), is **the Pacific Northwest of North America.**
Specifically, it thrives in:
* **Coastal British Columbia, Canada**
* **Washington State, USA**
* **Oregon, USA**
* **Northern California, USA**
* **Parts of Idaho and Montana, USA**
While ‘Forever Goldy’ is a cultivated variety, its parent species, *Thuja plicata*, is firmly rooted in that Pacific Northwest region. The cultivar was likely developed in a nursery setting, but the plant’s genetic makeup and inherent environmental preferences are still tied to its origin.
