How to grow Cedar hedges from seeds?

Where moving and my dad has cedar hedges around our house that block the cold wind and keep the birds safe and warm inside the cedars during the cold winter months.





Now that we where moving he's thinking of digging out the cedars here and bringing them to our new home because there so large, do you think that's a good idea? or can the cedars die off?





If we don't bring them with us how do you plant cedar seeds and help them to grow healthy and large? should we buy sprouts of cedar hedges instead from garden centres and plant them at the house or just plant our own instead which Im geussing would take a long time.





Thanks so much!

How to grow Cedar hedges from seeds?
You can dig the cedars but if they are really large they may not transplat well and it maybe more work than it's worth. The best time to transplant is in early spring or late fall, when the trees are dormant and it is less of a shock for them. I would suggest purchasing some from a garden center (or even find a friend who may have wild cedars growing on their property to dig saplings from) and planting a new hedge. It usually takes a year for them to root down before they start growning up, but after that it will not take too long before your hedge looks great! Planting from seed will take a long time.
