Harvests can start as early as October and continue through early December. Boughs should be cut 3-4 feet from the tip of a branch (above the node) to encourage regeneration. If the goal is to produce quality timber with few knotholes, cut the branch at the trunk.
How do you pick cedar boughs?
Avoid trimming off all green growth on any one area, because branches cut bare have a hard time producing new growth. Make each cut just above a lateral bud facing up or out. Avoid leaving stubs. Choose boughs that are fresh and flexible.
How long do cut cedar branches last?
Fresh greenery will last indoors for about two weeks; it will last longer outdoors in cold climates. Display greenery out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources; mist with water daily to help the cuttings last.
