Sourcing
Arborvitae is an exceptionally hardy evergreen tree that is also known as western red cedar. As a member of the Thuja genus, however, Arborvitae belongs to the cypress family rather than the cedar family. Arborvitae trees can reach heights of up to 70 metres. Some specimens can live for more than a thousand years; the oldest recorded tree lived for 1,460 years. Arborvitae repels insects, including termites. In Native American cultures, knowledge of how to use Arborvitae was passed down from generation to generation. Its wood was traditionally used to build boats, totem poles and homes, while the roots and bark were made into other useful items such as baskets, rope and twine. Arborvitae proved ideal for all of these purposes because its chemical composition and insect-repelling properties helped minimise damage and provide outstanding durability. Arborvitae essential oil is steam-distilled from the wood itself. To avoid unnecessary tree cutting, however, only sawdust and wood scraps left over from Arborvitae processed by the timber industry are used to produce the oil.
